Notice on Restoration Outlook for “NETSEA” Operated by Our Consolidated Subsidiary

Announcement on NETSEA Restoration Status

NETSEA, operated by our consolidated subsidiary SynaBiz, reported on its restoration status after being subject to a ransomware attack on an external cloud service. Development of the core functions of the new system is complete, PHP vulnerability countermeasures have been implemented, and operation verification and data restoration are underway. The restoration schedule is set to resume supplier member logins from November 16, 2026, buyer member logins around November 18, and acceptance of orders and payment functions from November 21 onward. Some functions are expected to remain restricted.

Impact on Financial Results and Future Outlook

Although the incident occurred after the fiscal year ended September 2026, it has been announced that there is no impact on consolidated results for that fiscal year. Expenditures for restoration and the impact of decreased transactions have been factored into the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2027, and there is currently no revision to the earnings forecast. However, uncertainties remain regarding post-restoration transaction levels and expenditures, and the amounts of insurance proceeds and compensation are TBD. If there are any changes to the earnings forecast, they will be disclosed promptly.
