M3: Weak Earnings and Overseas Business Further Slows Down
- M3 Inc (2413 JP) reported 1QFY03/2024 results on Friday. Revenue increased 0.7% YoY to ¥57.4bn (vs consensus ¥58.1bn) while OP decreased 3.7% YoY to ¥18.0bn (vs consensus ¥18.1bn).
- Overseas revenue growth further slowed down to 5.3% despite the company expecting overseas business growth to help offset slowdown in pharma marketing business going forward.
- This proves that m3’s long list of M&A’s have not been really successful as we have not observed any meaningful growth from these new acquisitions.
