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

Overview of Performance

In the second quarter of the current fiscal year, net sales increased 5.0% to 20,544 million yen, and operating income, ordinary income, and interim net income rose 5.7%, 6.7%, and 5.4% respectively, showing steady progress. Supported by continued AI-related demand and active investment in information services, the company has been strengthening recruitment and development processes assuming AI. By segment, Open Systems and Software Development-related businesses drove results and contributed to improved company-wide profitability. An earnings presentation is planned, and future developments will be monitored in line with AI market trends.

Impact on Shareholders and Outlook

The company's financial condition is sound, maintaining a high equity ratio. Cash and cash equivalents and cash flows remain stable, and the dividend policy is expected to continue. The full-year outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2027 retains the assumptions at the time of publication, keeping the full-year dividend forecast at 140 yen, including a 70 yen interim dividend. There is upside potential to results depending on continued AI and cloud-related investments, but because the impact of AI remains partly uncertain, careful observation is required.
