Kakaku.com, Inc. is a prominent Japanese company operating in the digital services sector, known for its popular consumer platforms such as Kakaku.com, Tabelog, and Kyujin Box, which provide price comparison, restaurant reservations, and job listings, respectively.
In its latest earnings report for the three months ended June 30, 2025, Kakaku.com reported a significant 24% increase in consolidated revenue year-on-year, reaching 21,958 million yen. The company’s operating profit also saw a modest rise of 4.9%, amounting to 7,318 million yen, while profit attributable to owners of the parent company increased by 4.2% to 5,025 million yen.
Key drivers of this growth included strong performances in the Tabelog and Kyujin Box businesses, with Tabelog’s revenue surging by 21.3% due to an increase in online reservations and restaurant contracts. The Kyujin Box business experienced a remarkable 72.4% revenue growth, although its segment income decreased due to higher advertising expenses. Meanwhile, the Kakaku.com business saw a steady revenue increase of 4%, driven by demand in the shopping and telecommunications sectors.
Despite the positive revenue trends, the company’s financial position showed a decrease in total assets and equity, primarily due to a significant dividend payout and increased investments in growth areas. The acquisition of LiPLUS Holdings, Inc. also contributed to the strategic expansion of Kakaku.com’s incubation segment.
Looking ahead, Kakaku.com maintains its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with expectations of continued revenue growth supported by strategic investments and business expansions, although operating profit is projected to slightly decline due to ongoing investments.
