Frequently Asked Questions

The company name "Howtelevision" was given because, in the early days of its founding, it operated a business that shared knowledge (know-how) through video distribution on YouTube.
However, monetization was difficult in the social environment of 2010, and the new graduate service, which was offered concurrently, achieved monetization first and expanded its business (YouTube was launched in 2005, and the first iPhone was released in 2007. At that time, 3G feature phones were mainstream, and there were no professional YouTubers).
Furthermore, the mission "Unlock the full potential of all humanity and change the world," which has been pursued since the company's founding through knowledge sharing using technology, has been consistently common across all services provided by the Company and continues to this day. For the founding story and corporate philosophy, please refer to here.

Please see Financial Highlights.

We were listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on April 24, 2019.

On February 2, 2026, we changed our market segment and are currently listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, with securities code 7064.

100 shares.

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited.

While we recognize the return of profits to shareholders as one of our important management priorities, the possibility and timing of dividend payments are yet to be determined at this time.
In the future, we plan to implement a return of profits to shareholders, taking into consideration our operating results and financial condition at each point in time.

Furthermore, our company is currently in a growth phase, maintaining an ROE (Return on Equity) of 30% or higher, and possesses abundant investment opportunities with the potential to lead to high profit growth. For business investments, we are raising funds through debt, among other methods, and our capital demand remains strong.
Therefore, at this time, we believe that enhancing internal reserves and maximizing corporate value through further business expansion, achieved by stabilizing and diversifying our revenue base and making new investments, will ultimately lead to a return of profits to shareholders.

In other words, as a company with significant growth potential, we believe that capital gains, rather than income gains, form the core of our stock value at this stage of our company's development.

If our stock price consistently trades above the 1,000 yen level, we will consider implementing a stock split as a measure to improve liquidity.

Article 445 of the Securities Listing Regulations states that the desirable investment unit is less than 500,000 yen. Furthermore, on April 24, 2025, the Tokyo Stock Exchange issued a request to set the minimum investment unit at 100,000 yen or less (Notice to Representatives of Listed Companies, TSE Stock General No. 138).

Since our trading unit (number of shares per unit) is 100 shares, a minimum investment unit of 100,000 yen corresponds to a stock price of 1,000 yen. Therefore, if the stock price consistently trades above 1,000 yen, we will consider a stock split.

We comply with all items of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Listing Maintenance Standards (Standard Market, Article 501(1) of the Securities Listing Regulations).

While we aim over the medium term to change our market segment to the Prime Market, as of January 31, 2026 we comply with all items of the Standard Market Listing Maintenance Standards.

• Number of shareholders: 419 (400 or more required)
• Tradable shares: 9,267 units (2,000 units or more required)
• Market capitalization of tradable shares: JPY 1.1 billion (JPY 1.0 billion or more required)
• Tradable share ratio: 34% (25% or more required)
• Average monthly trading volume: compliant (10 units or more required)
• Net assets: compliant (must be positive)

As for the tradable share ratio, there is substantial room for improvement by reclassifying shares currently categorized as non-tradable into tradable shares (through measures such as obtaining shareholding status reports).

Leveraging a corporate foundation that allows us to maintain our listing on a stable basis, we will actively pursue consideration of M&A with industry peers facing delisting in 2030 as a result of the so-called Growth Market reforms.

The documents that were disclosed every three years as a "Mid-term Management Plan" when we were listed on the Mothers market in 2020, were disclosed annually from 2021 to 2025 as "Matters Concerning Business Plans and Growth Potential" due to the market restructuring to the Growth market.
Since we transitioned to the Standard Market in 2026, there are no plans for future creation, but we will continue to disclose information in our presentation materials that will contribute to investors' creation of mid- to long-term earnings forecast models.
