POCKETALK Corporation (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 its first half-year profitability in the period from January to June 2026. This achievement follows previous single-month profitability and operating profitability in the first quarter of 2026 (January-March), demonstrating the continuation of a system capable of stably generating profits over a sustained period. Under its mission to "eliminate the language barrier," POCKETALK has provided its AI interpreter "POCKETALK" series globally, promoting its adoption in overseas markets, including Europe and the United States, primarily in the medical, public, and corporate sectors. In conducting global business, it is crucial to dynamically transition to business operations suitable for each country and region in response to changes in market environments, customer needs, and sales channels. With this philosophy in mind, POCKETALK is shifting its overseas business operations towards a more profitability-focused model while pursuing growth opportunities. As a pioneering example, POCKETALK has been building its business foundation in the European market and optimizing its sales structure. By improving sales efficiency through the development of a distributor network, and by reviewing personnel structures and promotional expenses, POCKETALK has achieved highly profitable business operations, resulting in an annual improvement of approximately 300 million yen in operating profit. The achievement of half-year operating profit this time demonstrates the continued positive results of these initiatives. In Europe, adoption has been particularly strong in the medical field, with the device currently in use at over 300 medical and welfare-related facilities.
