On February 11, 2026, Avex Inc. released its consolidated financial summary for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. This followed the company's announcement on December 25, 2025, that it more than doubled its full-year net income forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 to ¥2.8 billion ($17.8 million), up from an earlier projection of ¥1.2 billion ($7.6 million). The revised outlook came after Avex agreed to sell its entire 30% stake in SANRIO SOUTHEAST ASIA PTE. LTD., a joint venture with Sanrio Co. Ltd., to Sanrio, leading to the dissolution of the JV and the recognition of an extraordinary gain. Earlier on December 25, Avex and Sanrio reached a basic agreement for a strategic partnership to accelerate global IP utilization.
