Performance Overview
While cumulative 2Q revenue increased year-over-year, operating income declined. Contributing factors included a decrease in gross margin in core businesses and the effects of newly consolidated subsidiaries. Although contributions from growth areas provided some offset, results fell short of initial forecasts. By segment, HR Solutions led performance, while profitability was pressured in certain areas such as Media & Solutions. In the second half, we aim to return to growth, including integration of flaggs.
Outlook and Shareholder Returns
The full-year forecast remains unchanged. We plan to include flaggs results from the second half and concurrently advance the launch of growth areas and recovery of existing businesses. Regarding shareholder returns, the interim dividend has been increased to 40 yen; we will continue to target a payout ratio above 30% and aim for a DOE of 10% as a mid-term objective.
