Financial Summary for Q1 of the Fiscal Year Ending June 2027 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Results

Axis Consulting Corporation recorded revenue of 2,649 million yen for the cumulative first quarter period, with operating income of 366 million yen, ordinary income of 370 million yen, and quarterly net income attributable to owners of parent of 242 million yen. Revenue exceeded the prior year in both recruitment placement and skill-share services, with particularly strong contributions from the number of hires placed through recruitment placement and sustained high average revenue per placement. Although increased headcount in the front-office raised expenses, a reduction in advertising and promotional expenses restrained overall SG&A growth, allowing the company to remain profitable. The Human Capital business is a single reportable segment, and both AXIS Agent and AXIS Solutions performed solidly across services.

Outlook and Impact for Shareholders

The full-year outlook remains unchanged from the previous announcement, and the annual dividend is forecast at 41 yen. The equity ratio stands at a stable 64.7%, and the financial base remains sound despite a decline in cash and deposits. With continued demand in the high-end talent market, the company aims to sustain revenue growth through continued increases in placement numbers and utilization. For investors, expense discipline supporting profitability and the sustainability of high-value contracts are key evaluation points.
