Current report
The other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased to $5,032,354 by $572,639, or 10.22%, from $5,604,993 for the same period in 2025. This decrease was mainly due to the depreciation of JPY, partially offset by higher revenue from leasehold improvement services.
Current report
Waqoo Segment
Current report
Waqoo Segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $4,514,508. There was no comparable revenue for the same period in 2025 because Waqoo and its subsidiary, Cell Pro Japan Co., Ltd. (“Cell Pro”), were not consolidated subsidiaries during that period. This revenue was primarily derived from medical support services and direct-to-consumer product sales.
Current report
Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $13,210,752 compared to $13,348,270 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was mainly due to lower costs in the SBC Core Segment associated with the decline in revenue from rentals of laser hair removal equipment to existing clinics as well as the depreciation of JPY. This decrease was partially offset by the inclusion of costs attributable to Waqoo and Cell Pro, whose operating results were consolidated beginning in the current-year period.
Current report
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $35,977,316 compared to $30,010,577 for the same period in 2025. The increase in gross profit by $5,966,739 or 19.88% was mainly due to the inclusion of gross profit from the Waqoo Segment and an increase in management services revenue, partially offset by a decrease in procurement revenue, which has a relatively high gross margin.
Current report
Operating expenses increased to $17,016,766 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 by $1,560,381, or 10.10%, from $15,456,385 for the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly due to the increase in consulting and professional service fees and salaries and welfare, partially offset by the decrease in advertising expense.
Current report
Consulting and professional service fees increased by $1,247,116, or 32.16%, to $5,125,152 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $3,878,036 for the same period in 2025, mainly due to $1.4 million transaction costs incurred by the Company in connection with the secondary public offering of common stock sold by the Company’s CEO, which was completed in April 2026.
Current report
Salaries and welfare increased by $1,025,391, or 15.16%, to $7,790,908 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $6,765,517 for the same period in 2025, mainly due to the inclusion of personnel costs attributable to Waqoo and Cell Pro, which were consolidated beginning in the current-year period, and higher social insurance premiums driven by an increase in headcount at a Japanese subsidiary.
Current report
Advertising expense decreased by $506,327, or 51.99%, to $467,606 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $973,933 for the same period in 2025, mainly due to higher promotional point redemptions in the prior-year period.

Current report
Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $18,960,550 compared to $14,554,192 for the same period in 2025. The increase in income from operations of $4,406,358, or 30.28%, was mainly due to the inclusion of income from operations from the Waqoo Segment and an increase in management services revenue, partially offset by a decrease in procurement revenue, which has a relatively high gross margin, as a result of the factors described above.
Current report
Other income (expenses), net was $594,136 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $(1,013,831) for the same period in 2025. The increase in other income (expense) of $1,607,967, or 158.60%, was mainly due to foreign currency exchange gain resulting from the depreciation of the Japanese Yen.
Current report
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $7,823,743 compared to $11,100,509 for the same period in 2025. The decrease in income tax expense of $3,276,766, or 29.52%, was mainly due to the absence of a significant tax expense recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was associated with a deemed contribution treated as a taxable gain under Japanese tax law.
Current report
The effective tax rate was 40.01% and 81.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of 41.97 percentage points was mainly due to the absence of the specific event that occurred in the same period in 2025; specifically, the deemed contribution in connection with the price modification on disposal of an aircraft to General Incorporated Association SBC, an entity controlled by the CEO of the Company, who is also the controlling shareholder of the Company, was treated as a taxable gain under Japanese tax law and increased the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

For comparative purposes, all 2025 amounts in the tables below are attributable to the SBC Core Segment, as Waqoo was not consolidated during those periods.

This increase was mainly due to the lower point redemption, which was accounted as a reduction of loyalty program management revenue, resulting from the revision of program policy effective in June 2025, partially offset by the decrease resulting from the revision of the fee structure for determining service fees for each clinic of MCs based on the size, scale and performance of each clinic effective as of April 1, 2025.
