Yoshiyuki Aikawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SBC Medical, said, "SBC is actively preparing for strategic expansion by enhancing its platform, optimizing its profitability structure, and stabilizing its business through revised pricing strategies and adapting to changing market dynamics. In the first quarter of 2025, we were pleased to see the expansion of Medical Corporations (MCs) gaining traction in our franchising, procurement and rental business segments as global demand for aesthetic medical services continued to rise; meanwhile, revenue decrease in the quarter primarily reflected the discontinuation of our staffing business and divestures of Sky Net Academy ("SNA") and SBC Kijimadaira Resort ("Kijimadaira"). In the midst of this transition, operating margin improved from 45% in the first quarter 2024, to 51% in the first quarter 2025. Additionally, net income attributable to SBC Medical Group increased 15% year-over year, further demonstrating the strength of our business model transition and execution. As we move ahead, we remain confident in our ability to build a scalable franchise model while accelerating expansion across domestic and international markets, driving long-term value for shareholders and positioning the Company to capitalize on future opportunities."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenues were $47 million, a decrease of 14% year-over-year reflecting the negative impact of the discontinuation of the staffing business and the disposal of subsidiaries partially offset by increased demand for medical materials and equipment from the expansion of Medical Corporations.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $22 million, compared to $19 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was largely attributed to the impact of a special gain associated with the maturity of a life insurance policy.　

EBITDA was $25 million, an decrease of 3% year-over-year primarily driven by lower in revenue following the termination of the staffing services business and the deconsolidation of SNA and Kijimadaira.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results."
