Financial Summary for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 (Interim) [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, consolidated results were: net sales of 9,064 million yen, operating income of 710 million yen, ordinary income of 704 million yen, and interim net income attributable to owners of parent of 515 million yen. Compared with the same period last year, net sales decreased by -0.9%, and profits decreased by -2.8%, -4.5%, and -7.1%, respectively. Demand for AI and cloud-related services remained firm, but certain loss-making projects and sustained high personnel-related costs had an adverse impact. The equity ratio remained high at 77.9%. Supplementary earnings presentation materials and an earnings briefing are scheduled. There is no change to the earnings forecast, and attention is focused on future management policy and capital strategy trends.

Outlook and Strategy

Although interim results showed year-on-year profit declines, ongoing demand for DX support and AI services is expected to continue, and cloud migration is likely to accelerate. The company is optimizing its business portfolio through measures such as disposal of policy-held shares and transfer of the stake in its Shanghai subsidiary. There are no major changes to capital policy or dividend forecasts, and the financial condition is sound. Going forward, balancing medium- to long-term restructuring and partnerships with profitability improvement and growth investment will be important.
