Message from the CEO
株主の皆様へ
On February 28, 2025, TENTIAL Inc. was newly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. First and foremost, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all stakeholders who have supported us since our founding. Listing is not the end goal, but a new point of departure. We will continue to pursue growth and take on new challenges as we work to fulfill our mission.
Our company name, TENTIAL, is derived from the word “potential. Guided by our mission to unleash human potential by creating a society that embraces health, we strive to become a force that empowers people to realize their potential across the world. This mission is not just a business goal—it is the very reason we exist. While chasing a personal dream, I experienced a serious illness firsthand, and that experience made me realize just how essential health truly is. No matter how ambitious your goals may be, you may not even be able to take that first step forward without a healthy mind and body. That experience is what shaped the foundation of TENTIAL’s business.
At TENTIAL, we regard long-term value creation as the ultimate measure of success. However, we also believe that consistent short-term achievements are essential building blocks toward that long-term goal. Delivering short-term results means providing valuable products and services that satisfy our customers. By steadily building customer trust, we strengthen the value of the TENTIAL brand, which in turn leads to sustained growth and enhanced corporate value.
Since our founding, we have believed that enhancing customer value leads directly to increasing corporate value. This belief drives our commitment to developing evidence-based products and services. As a result, we have built a loyal fan base and robust brand trust, achieving steady growth and reaching profitability. Going forward, we will continue to carefully manage short-term growth and build upon it to enhance long-term corporate value.
TENTIAL will continue to contribute to society through innovation in the field of conditioning. Looking 10 to 20 years ahead, we are committed to continuously developing new products and services that support both physical and mental well-being. With rising health awareness and increasing healthy life expectancy, the wellness and recovery market is expected to experience accelerated growth. In this environment, we aim to establish a unique position in the market by combining data-driven development with insights from professional athletes to deliver highly competitive products.
A key drivers behind our growth is our commitment to value creation through proactive investment. To further enhance customer value, we will make strategic investments in new product development and service quality improvements, thereby sustained business growth. We are confident that the value generated through these initiatives will ultimately flow back to our shareholders. We view sustained earnings growth and the enhancement of corporate value as the most effective forms of shareholder return, and in the near term our priority will remain enhancing customer value. That said, as our business matures, we also intend to consider direct shareholder-return strategies such as dividends and share buy-backs.
Achieving long-term success requires a constant willingness to take on new challenges. But with every challenge comes risk. The wellness and recovery market is highly competitive, and staying ahead requires rapid adaptation to both technological and market shifts. We will also actively collaborate with stakeholders to respond to changes in the regulatory environment while contributing to the healthy growth of the market and expanding new business opportunities.
We believe it is essential not only to face risks head-on, but also to strike a balance between bold challenges and careful risk management. Bold challenges must be matched with strategic judgment that minimizes risk. For example, in cases where R&D investment does not go as planned, we are committed to distributing risk appropriately and applying what we’ve learned to future challenges in order to drive long-term growth. We believe that this continuous cycle of taking on new challenges and learning is the key to maximizing our corporate value over the mid- to long-term.
The challenges we face at TENTIAL are not limited to Japan. The growing awareness of health is a global trend, and we are actively preparing to expand into markets outside Japan. We have already begun trial deployments in some countries, and we are building collaborative frameworks with local partners and specialists.
With a long-term perspective and a focus on global markets, we aim to deliver the value of TENTIAL’s products and mission to people around the world—contributing to greater value creation and enhancing both global impact and shareholder value.
Finally, at TENTIAL we live by the values of “Dynamic,” “Essential,” and “Buddy,” and we remain committed to continuous growth and evolution. We embrace bold challenges with a Dynamic spirit, stay grounded in what is Essential, and grow together with our customers, shareholders, and team as a trusted Buddy. These values are the source of our strength and the driving force behind our growth.
I firmly believe that TENTIAL’s potential is limitless. With a proven record of steady growth and a bold vision for the future, we will continue to move forward and grow even further. By balancing short- and long-term outcomes, we aim to maximize corporate value. Together with our shareholders, we will continue creating new value for the world. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
