Link And Motivation reports strong Q3 growth, expands shareholder rewards

Link And Motivation reported a 10.0% year-over-year increase in revenues to 30,181 million yen for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with gross profit up 12.7% to 16,426 million yen and operating income rising 11.1% to 4,477 million yen. This growth was largely driven by the Consulting & Cloud business, where monthly fee revenue for Motivation Cloud surged 26.7% to over 620 million yen, boosted by the integration of Unipos' Peer Bonus service in August 2025.

The company is expanding its market reach through strategic partnerships, including a notable collaboration with Fukuoka Financial Group, Inc. initiated in October 2025. This alliance aims to offer Motivation Cloud Basic to approximately 52,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, leveraging FFG's substantial customer base. Furthermore, the Matching Division saw substantial increases in revenues and gross profit, attributed to strong growth in the Personnel Placement business, especially OpenWork.

In conjunction with these positive results, Link And Motivation announced a third-quarter dividend of 4.1 yen per share, payable on December 25. The company also enhanced its shareholder benefits program by adding the QUO Card as a gift, alongside existing electronic money and points options, for shareholders holding 1,000 or more shares for at least one year as of December 2025.
