In the most recent fiscal year 2023, Palemo generated revenue of JPY 131,524,714. 3 with an EBITDA of JPY 5,755,521.

5. The revenue stream primarily comes from its subscription-based membership card program, where customers pay an annual fee to gain access to discounts and promotional offers at partnered retailers. Members benefit from reduced purchase costs by applying their membership advantages directly at the point of sale, encouraging customer loyalty and repeat business for retail partners. Looking ahead, Palemo Holdings plans to utilize the JPY 265 million from its March 2022 funding to restructure its retail stores, aiming to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and enhance operational efficiency.

The company is also considering the launch of new products aimed at broadening its service offerings and is exploring expansion into additional urban markets to increase its customer base. This strategic direction is intended to stabilize the funding environment and bolster long-term shareholder value.
