Notice of Formulation of Medium-Term Management Plan
AMUSE INC. (the “Company”) announces that it has updated the Medium-Term Management Plan announced in June 2023 based on the progress made to date and changes in the business environment and has formulated a new Medium-Term Management Plan covering the three-year period from FY2026 to FY2028.
(1) Background and Purpose
In the previous Medium-Term Management Plan formulated in 2023, the Company set forth the vision of “transformation into a production house that works together with every talent and takes on challenges globally,” and worked to strengthen artist discovery and development, create original content, and develop cutting-edge services. Although the Company achieved its original targets of 65 billion yen in operating revenue and 5 billion yen in operating profit in FY2025, earlier than originally planned, the environment surrounding the entertainment industry continues to change year by year. The Company recognizes that it is essential to accurately grasp these changes and achieve further growth.
As the live entertainment and tourism markets, as well as inbound demand, are expected to continue growing both domestically and internationally, the Company aims to build a robust and stable earnings base beyond FY2028. To achieve this, the Company will not only further strengthen its core businesses—artist production and original content—but also expand its business portfolio through collaborative initiatives with overseas artists and local communities.
