A-Team Holdings is a holding company that operates web services and digital businesses through its group of subsidiaries. Its core operations include planning, developing, and operating comparison sites and information media close to everyday life, as well as tools; providing digital customer acquisition support for corporate clients; operating multiple direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites; and planning, developing, and operating games and tool applications. By operating a diverse range of online services across group companies, the company engages in both lifestyle and entertainment sectors.

The company's primary customers are individual consumers who use comparison sites, information media, and applications, as well as corporations seeking customer acquisition and marketing support. Revenue comes from multiple streams: advertising and intermediary fees from media, transactions through comparison sites, product sales via D2C, in-app purchases and usage fees from games and applications, and service contracts for corporate clients.

The business is divided into three reportable segments: Media & Solutions, D2C, and Entertainment. Media & Solutions operates comparison sites and engineer communities, provides CMS and marketing support services, and manages insurance agencies. D2C operates direct sales sites for cosmetics, hair care brands, and pet food. Entertainment focuses on planning and operating smartphone games and practical tool applications.

The company is committed to "making the world more convenient and enjoyable through Creativity × Tech," aiming for sustainable long-term growth and enhanced corporate value. Its core strategy centers on strengthening its business portfolio, with a goal to transform into a "sales growth support company." To achieve this, the company will make forward-looking investments through new business creation, partnerships with other companies, and M&A activities, while addressing 11 priority initiatives to drive growth. The group operates with 11 domestic consolidated subsidiaries and 1 overseas consolidated subsidiary, leveraging these entities for cross-functional expansion.

Priority investment areas are digital marketing and entertainment. In digital marketing, the company differentiates itself through a dual approach of "media solutions" and "D2C" by integrating comparison sites, information media, and advertising, content, and media operations in-house. Specific initiatives include accumulating and analyzing user data to provide consulting and business support tools to corporate clients that drive customer acquisition and sales growth, as well as acquiring missing solutions through M&A. In D2C, the company operates direct-to-consumer sites for cosmetics and dog food, strengthening the entire value chain from product planning to sales.

For new market development, the company plans to expand its entertainment business globally. The global digital distribution market, including mobile games, continues to grow annually. Recognizing a market opportunity exceeding 12 trillion yen as indicated by "Famitsu Mobile Game White Paper 2025," the company will expand beyond mobile to include PC and home console digital distribution, leveraging popular intellectual properties and partnerships. For corporate services, the company will cross-sell customer acquisition support and operational efficiency tools by combining them with the group's media assets, while expanding its customer base through M&A and partnerships.

Regarding technological innovation, the company has clearly committed to adapting to emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain. Through group-wide technology research projects, it will verify and implement new technologies while developing talent to enable practical deployment. Information security is positioned as a critical management priority, with continuous strengthening of multi-layered defense based on zero-trust principles and ongoing monitoring of emerging threats. Additionally, the company will simultaneously advance talent acquisition and development, governance enhancement, and sustainability initiatives to build a growth foundation across both technology and organizational dimensions.
