(TSE: 4180), hereafter referred to as "Appier," today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and issued guidance for FY26. The company achieved record revenue of JPY 43.7 billion, a 28% YoY increase (JPY 45.0 billion, up 32% YoY on an FX-neutral basis). This stellar performance was fueled by dual growth engines: core E-commerce grew 49% YoY, and Other Internet Services surged 59% YoY, led by the Travel sector. Since FY19, Appier has delivered a sixfold surge in total revenue, a record performance anchored by consistent expansion in incremental revenue.
Profitability surged to a record high, with operating income growing 50% YoY to JPY 3.0 billion, representing a 6.8% operating margin (JPY 3.8 billion with an 8.5% margin on an FX-neutral basis). Gross profit outpaced revenue growth, reaching a historical high of JPY 23.5 billion, up 32% YoY. Gross margin climbed to 53.8% (53.9% FX-neutral), bolstered by increased revenue scale, technological differentiation, and a high-margin product mix.

Balanced regional expansion and deepening vertical penetration drive quality growth
In FY25, all key regions delivered strong growth. Northeast Asia (68%) and the U.S. & EMEA (19%) both achieved 36% YoY growth (FX-neutral). NEA was supported by balanced expansion in E-commerce and continued vertical diversification, while the U.S. & EMEA benefited from solid momentum across E-commerce and Other Internet Services. Together, this regional strength and deeper vertical penetration reflect the effective scaling of Agentic AI-first strategy, driving sustained, high-quality, and resilient growth.
Revenue growth remains balanced, with 56% of incremental revenue driven by ROI-led upsells to existing E-commerce customers and 44% fueled by new customers, primarily from Online Travel. By leveraging Agentic AI to secure large enterprise catalysts, Appier delivered 13% YoY growth in both its customer base and FX-neutral ARPC.

Forecasting revenue to reach JPY 54 billion, up 24% YoY and gross profit to hit JPY 29.4 billion, up 25% YoY, with a 54.5% margin.
