Business and Segment Trends and Challenges

The dispatched instructor training business posted net sales of 2,038 million yen (11.3% YoY increase), driven by growth in DX-related training and price revisions that raised average unit prices. On the other hand, the open seminar business remained at 891 million yen (3.3% YoY increase) due to a shortage of scheduled courses. The challenge is to bolster growth outside of DX, and the entire group is strengthening proposals and ramping up sales activities for AI-related products. By customer segment, despite a decline in large-scale projects, overall net sales increased thanks to growth in the public sector segment.
