On June 2, the TKC National Federation (Chairman: Koji Sakamoto; Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) launched the 2026 edition of the 'TKC Management Indicators (BAST)' online.
The 2026 BAST analyzes the financial performance and fiscal condition of SMEs with annual sales of 10 billion yen or less that closed their fiscal year using TKC financial systems in 2025. It includes data from 262,244 companies (over 8.7% of all corporations in Japan) across 1,201 industries.
Key Highlights of BAST 2026:
1. Profitability ratio for firms using TKC systems: 58.1% (up 1.1 percentage points from the previous year).
2. Average sales per company: Increased for the fourth consecutive year to 245.565 million yen (103.4% year-on-year).
3. Average recurring profit per company: Increased for the fifth consecutive year to 9.584 million yen (107.7% year-on-year).
4. Per-capita sales and personnel expenses: Both increased for the fourth consecutive year.
5. Cash and deposits: Increased for the second consecutive year.
The profitability ratio for TKC system users (58.1%) significantly outperforms the 36.5% ratio reported in National Tax Agency statistics. The report highlights sustained financial health, with cash and deposits increasing as cash flow from operations exceeds outflows for investments. The TKC National Federation plans to expand the use of these indicators by financial institutions and continue supporting the growth of SMEs.
