Action:ReiteratedDate:02/05/26
The score is primarily supported by strengthening financial performance (accelerating growth, margin expansion, and materially improved free cash flow) and constructive guidance/cost actions from the latest earnings call. These positives are tempered by clearly bearish technical signals and moderate balance-sheet risk from rising leverage, while valuation remains supportive but not a dominant driver.

LY Corporation Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 04, 2026
(Q3-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 07, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented materially stronger underlying operational performance when excluding the ASKUL outage: double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth in the underlying business, strong Commerce and Strategic (PayPay) momentum, and clear targets for FY'26 margin expansion and FY'28 monetization. However, consolidated Q3 results were slightly down due to the ASKUL ransomware impact, Media search-ad weakness, increased near-term SG&A/AI costs, and limited immediate contribution from MINI Apps/SaaS. Management communicated concrete cost-reduction plans and a multi-year roadmap, but short-term uncertainty from ASKUL and media ad softness temper the tone.Positive Updates
Strong Underlying Q3 Growth Excluding ASKUL
Excluding ASKUL, Q3 revenue rose 15.7% year-on-year and adjusted EBITDA increased 11.2% year-on-year, indicating solid underlying business momentum despite consolidated headwinds.
Negative Updates
ASKUL Ransomware Outage Impact
A subsidiary (ASKUL) suffered a system outage due to a ransomware attack, materially depressing consolidated results and introducing uncertainty; FY'25 and near-term consolidated figures were presented reflecting this impact.

Company Guidance
LY Corporation guided that FY‑25 revenue will be about JPY 2.0 trillion and adjusted EBITDA around JPY 500 billion (adjusted EPS to remain within initial guidance), noting the FY‑25 outlook reflects the ASKUL system‑outage impact; for FY‑26 management is targeting a 10–15% increase in adjusted EBITDA (JPY 550–575 billion). Management expects next‑year profit uplifts of roughly JPY 10 billion for Media, JPY 10 billion for Commerce (excluding ASKUL), and JPY 20 billion for Strategic (mainly PayPay), plus about JPY 15 billion of company‑wide fixed‑cost savings (≈JPY 50 billion+ total, with ASKUL recovery as upside). Relevant Q3 metrics cited as supporting this outlook included, excluding ASKUL, Q3 revenue +15.7% Y/Y and adjusted EBITDA +11.2% Y/Y (consolidated Q3: revenue −0.7% Y/Y, adj. EBITDA −2.3%), Commerce ex‑ASKUL revenue +31% Y/Y and adj. EBITDA +15.5% Y/Y (LINE/Yahoo! Commerce +64.4% Y/Y), PayPay consolidated revenue +24% Y/Y with GMV and revenue growth >20% and quarter‑ly consolidated EBITDA +59.1% Y/Y to >JPY 30 billion; additional operational metrics cited: total ad revenue roughly flat (+0.4% Y/Y), account ads +13.8% Y/Y, search ads −9.5% Y/Y, AI‑related SG&A ~JPY 1 billion+, AI search ad share ~10%+, MINI Apps count +57.8% Y/Y and MAUs +63.8% Y/Y, and a FY‑28 ambition to grow Official Accounts/MINI Apps/SaaS from JPY 140 billion to JPY 280 billion.LY Corporation Financial Statement Overview
