2Q Financial Results Briefing

Performance Overview

For the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, consolidated revenue was 81.73 billion yen (YoY +14.3%), and operating income was 2.49 billion yen (YoY +25.6%), marking a significant profit increase. Contributions came from the domestic Working business—permanent staffing/contracting and foreign worker support—and productivity improvements in the overseas Working business. Improvements in segment profits along with positive foreign exchange effects lifted results. In response, the company revised its full-year earnings forecast upward.

Shareholder Returns and Outlook

During the new medium-term management plan period, the shareholder return policy will continue progressive dividends, targeting a total return ratio of 30% or more. The dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remains unchanged at 44 yen per share from the prior fiscal year, and consideration of flexible share buybacks was also indicated. While full-year results could exceed expectations, relocation costs for headquarters and other impacts may cause variability depending on future market conditions.
