In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue reached 24,990,676 thousand yen, an increase of 9.7% compared with the same period last year. Ordinary income grew to 1,311,151 thousand yen, representing approximately a 45% increase year-on-year, and net income reached 840,900 thousand yen, a 27.6% increase. These improvements were driven by SG&A expenses increasing at a lower pace due to operational efficiencies from the stabilization of the new core system.
