JACCS Co., Ltd. (ISIN JP3388600003) plans to consolidate its credit-screening network from 11 locations to 7 by April 2027, after its board resolved the restructuring on September 11, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The plan puts Tokyo and Osaka at the center of a seven-location structure and links the change to operational efficiency and productivity.

Screening centers fall to seven

The restructuring affects operations in Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Okayama, where 180 employees are involved, according to Note on September 17, 2026. Employees can transfer, relocate or choose voluntary retirement, while special retirement benefits could reach JPY 1.1 billion if all eligible employees leave.

MarketScreener reports that JACCS is also automating credit screening and moving applications online. The operational benefit is measurable in the footprint, but the disclosure does not quantify a profit gain from the reorganization.

Profit plan drops to JPY 11.0 billion

The financial pressure is clearer in the fiscal 2026 plan. Note states that ordinary profit guidance was reduced from JPY 25.0 billion to JPY 11.0 billion, while the fiscal 2027 plan was withdrawn. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, transaction volume reached JPY 5.8 trillion, operating revenue was JPY 192.3 billion and ordinary profit was JPY 20.2 billion, down 21.4 percent year over year.

That comparison explains why screening efficiency matters for JACCS stock. Rising procurement interest costs, system expenses and slower recovery in Indonesia are weighing on the earnings framework, while the restructuring aims to reduce the cost of maintaining a dispersed network.
