Restructuring Complete, Growth Reaccelerates: Q2 Revenue Up 13%, Net Income Attributable to SBC Medical Up 335%, Adjusted EBITDA1 Up 32% Year-over-Year. AI-Enabled Service Enhancements Drive Successful Fee Increases, Positioning the Business for Accelerated Network Expansion

 

—(BUSINESS WIRE)—

IRVINE, Calif. — SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“SBC Medical” or the “Company”), a Medical Services Organization (MSO) providing management support across a wide range of healthcare fields to medical institutions in Japan and abroad, today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 (the three months ended June 30, 2026) and the first half of fiscal year 2026 (the six months ended June 30, 2026).

 

■ Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenues were $49 million, an increase of 13% year-over-year.
  • Net income attributable to SBC Medical was $11 million, an increase of 335% year-over-year. Net income margin was 22%, an increase of 16 percentage points year-over-year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was $20 million, an increase of 32% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 was 41%, an increase of 6 percentage points year-over-year.
  • Basic EPS was $0.10 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 400% year-over-year.

The Company believes the quarter marked a clear reacceleration in its growth, with net income attributable to SBC Medical growth outpacing revenue growth. Earnings growth was supported by the expansion of the points business following a change in the Company’s operating policy and the expansion of service fees in line with enhanced AI-enabled support capabilities.

The business of the medical corporations the Company supports also continued to expand steadily. As of the end of June 2026, the number of locations2 increased by 34 year-over-year to 287, and last-twelve-month number of visits3 reached 6.9 million (up 10% year-over-year). Average spend per visit was $287, up 9% year-over-year.

 

■ Comment from SBC Medical’s Chairman and CEO Yoshiyuki Aikawa:

“We believe our results this quarter clearly demonstrate that SBC Medical’s growth story has entered a new phase. Having completed the structural reforms we undertook in 2025, we are now running multiple growth engines simultaneously. I am growing increasingly confident that this reacceleration is not a temporary phenomenon but reflects the strengthening of our underlying growth fundamentals.

What gives me the greatest confidence is that the convergence of healthcare and AI is becoming one of SBC Medical’s next sources of competitive advantage. We are leveraging more than 26 years of accumulated management data to support AI development and implementing mechanisms that enhance clinic operations — including AI-powered call centers, AI-driven marketing, and AI-assisted site selection for new clinic openings.

Strengthening our AI-enabled MSO platform simultaneously drives growth across three dimensions: the number of clinic locations, average fee per clinic (AFPC), and service menu breadth. As the platform’s appeal grows, patient visits and treatment volumes at the clinics we support increase, accelerating clinic growth — which in turn leads to expanded service fees commensurate with the value we provide. We believe this virtuous cycle is the driving force behind sustainable growth in consolidated revenue and EPS, as reflected in our most recent reported historical results and in the future.

Specifically, through fee revisions for our call center services provided to five specific affiliated medical corporations, together with separate fee revisions reflecting expanded support for Rize Clinic and Gorilla Clinic, we expect these initiatives, if their impact is realized for a full year, to increase service fees by approximately $15 million annually (converted at ¥158.1/US$). These initiatives are being pursued in a disciplined manner, premised on a win-win relationship between the Company and our affiliated medical corporations.

Looking ahead, we will deepen our multi-brand strategy in aesthetic dermatology domestically, while expanding our non-aesthetic business, which we position as our “second growth engine.” Internationally, we plan to accelerate our global growth through our collaboration with OrangeTwist in the United States and our ASEAN expansion, anchored in Thailand. We are also preparing to enter the Longevity market, which we see as having enormous potential.

With $184 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, we will continue to pursue disciplined investment toward our next growth phase. By pursuing sustained EPS growth and achieving fair equity valuation for our shares in the capital markets as two wheels of the same cart, we aim to deliver even greater value to all our stakeholders, including our shareholders. We look forward to what lies ahead for SBC Medical.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, 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, 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 presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.
