【東京】求人情報誌「DOMO（ドーモ）」の発行などを手がけるアルバイトタイムス（東証スタンダード・2341）は9日、2025年2月期の通期連結業績予想を下方修正するとともに、５億５２００万円の特別損失（減損損失）を計上したことを明らかにした。
同社は、業務効率化および将来的なCRM（顧客関係管理）構築を視野に基幹システムの再構築を進めていたが、一部機能の外部ソフトによる代替が可能となったことや、想定を超える追加開発費用が見込まれることから、投資回収の見通しが立たなくなったと判断。開発資産の帳簿価額を回収可能額まで減額し、今回の減損計上に至った。
これにより、親会社株主に帰属する当期純損失は従来予想の６６００万円の黒字から、４億６７００万円の赤字へと大幅に転落する見通しとなった。
連結売上高は前回予想から４億３６００万円減の41億6,000万円、営業利益は６８００万円（同８１００万円減）、経常利益は８８００万円（同６０００万円減）となる見込み。
業績下振れの背景には、主力商品である採用管理システム「ワガシャ de DOMO」の販路拡大施策やイベント施策は継続しているものの、主力営業地域である静岡県内の雇用情勢が依然として低調で、「DOMO静岡県版」の売上が当初想定を１億４９００万円超下回ったことなどがある。加えて、前年に休止したサービスの影響も補いきれず、情報提供事業の売上は全体で４億４１００万円のマイナスに。
一方、販促支援事業は子育て世帯向けサービスが堅調に推移したものの、フリーペーパーの廃刊・休刊により依然として厳しい状況が続いている。
同社は「採用管理システムや正社員領域のサービスは底堅く推移しており、今後も顧客ニーズに丁寧に応えていく」とコメント。なお、今回の下方修正による期末配当予想の変更はないとしている。 #事業 #ビジネス #ニュース
Arbeit-Times Revises Earnings Forecast Downward, Books ¥552 Million Impairment Loss on Core System Development
TOKYO – Arbeit-Times Co., Ltd. (TSE Standard: 2341), a regional employment information services company known for its free job magazine “DOMO,” announced on April 9 that it has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2025 downward and will record a special loss of ¥552 million due to impairment on software development costs.
The impairment stems from a partial write-down of capitalized expenses related to a core system redevelopment project. Initially launched to improve operational efficiency and prepare for a future CRM (Customer Relationship Management) framework, the project has seen unexpected cost overruns and diminishing prospects for return on investment. As a result, the company assessed that certain internally developed functions could be substituted with off-the-shelf solutions and decided to reduce the book value to its recoverable amount.
Reflecting the impairment, the company now expects a net loss attributable to shareholders of ¥467 million, compared to its previous forecast of a ¥66 million profit.
Full-year consolidated revenue is projected to decline to ¥4.16 billion, a ¥436 million decrease from the prior forecast. Operating profit is now estimated at ¥68 million (down ¥81 million), and ordinary profit at ¥88 million (down ¥60 million).
The revision is mainly attributed to the underperformance of the company’s core business, particularly in Shizuoka Prefecture, its primary market. While efforts have been made to expand the customer base for its subscription-based recruiting platform “Wagasha de DOMO” and to host job fairs such as “Shigoto Fair,” sluggish labor market conditions in the region led to sales of the “DOMO Shizuoka Edition” falling ¥149 million short of expectations. Additionally, the company failed to offset the negative impact of discontinued services from the previous year.
In its promotional support segment, although parenting-focused services performed steadily, the overall business remained under pressure due to continued closures and suspensions of free paper publications.
Despite the challenges, the company remains cautiously optimistic. “Our services targeting permanent employment and our applicant tracking system continue to show resilience. We aim to respond carefully to the evolving recruitment needs of our clients,” the company stated.
No changes were announced regarding the company’s year-end dividend forecast.
