Anicom Holdings H1 2025 profit dips despite revenue growth, strategic expansion

Anicom Holdings reported a 10.6% increase in recurring revenue to JPY 36,400 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. However, recurring profit decreased by 33.0% to JPY 2,098 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent fell by 34.4% to JPY 1,429 million. This decline in profit was attributed to costs associated with transferring policies from another company. The company's core non-life insurance business saw a 10.5% revenue increase, with policies in force growing to 1,347,456.

Total assets increased by JPY 2,178 million to JPY 74,673 million, driven by growth in property, plant and equipment and marketable securities. The company actively managed its capital, completing a JPY 1.0 billion share buyback program by September 22, 2025. This buyback, alongside an increase in retained earnings, impacted total net assets, which rose by JPY 244 million to JPY 28,311 million.

Anicom continues to invest in strategic growth areas, including the opening of JARVIS Animal Medical Center Tokyo and the launch of new pet care products like Care Deli. The company also secured a U.S. patent for its AI-based emotion detection system for pets and established the Anicom Institute for Healthy Longevity.
