POCKETALK Inc. (Headquarters: 7-1 Nihonbashi Kabutocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive Officer and President: Noriyuki Matsuda) is pleased to announce that its European subsidiary (hereinafter referred to as 'POCKETALK B.V.') achieved a single-month operating profit in February and March 2026, marking its first consecutive monthly profitability.
We have been working to build a business foundation and optimize our sales system in the European market. While we achieved our first single-month profit as a European entity in 2025, the steady improvement in our revenue structure has now enabled us to secure continuous profitability over multiple months.
The background to this consecutive profitability includes the establishment of a distributor network on the sales front, as well as a shift to efficient business operations through a review of our personnel structure and promotional expenses. This has led to a transition to a business model that can more easily generate profits.
In Europe, the movement of people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds is active, and the importance of multilingual support is increasing, especially in medical institutions and public service settings. Language barriers are issues directly linked to the quality and safety of services, as well as user experience, and efforts to resolve them are progressing in various countries.
In this environment, particularly in Europe, opportunities for adoption, primarily in the medical field, are expanding, triggered by the completion of evaluations for medical institutions in the UK (DTAC / DCB0129).
With this consecutive profitability, our European business is now in a phase where a sustainable operational foundation is being established. Moving forward, we aim for stable business growth under an efficient system, while focusing on high-demand areas such as the medical sector.
POCKETALK Inc. is committed to its mission of 'eliminating language barriers,' striving to create a world where people can communicate in their native languages and understand each other deeply. We have expanded the provision of the 'POCKETALK' series worldwide. We will continue to respond to the growing demand for multilingual support globally, promoting business development tailored to the characteristics of each region.
