Ordinary income was 1,296,015 thousand yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 882,317 thousand yen, below the prior year. Dividend forecast remains at the current level, with no changes to the full-year forecast. The segment is assumed to be a single consulting business.

Financial Position and Outlook

Total assets were 20,294,427 thousand yen, and net assets were 13,008,908 thousand yen. At the end of the most recent period, liabilities increased mainly due to an increase in short-term borrowings. Dividend history will continue to be treated as in the previous period. The consolidated full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remains as published, and no new revisions are indicated with the current information. Going forward, reductions in outsourcing dependence, movement of large projects, and the status of investments in securities may affect performance.
