PBR is low at 0.81x. While sales are stable, growth investments (M&A) have temporarily expanded assets, indicating off-balance sheet issues. The plan is to maintain financial soundness while optimizing financial leverage.\n\n### Future initiatives and outlook\nAccelerate the promotion of the Medium-Term Management Plan 2026-2030 to achieve ROE of 12.0% or higher and improve PER. Four focus areas: improved capital efficiency, profitability enhancement, strengthened investor dialogue, and governance improvements. Strive to balance growth investments with shareholder returns, and aim to improve total asset turnover through utilization of CMS and asset compression.","jir_financial_highlights":"ROE: 8.9% (YoY +2.3P)\nPBR: 0.81x\nPER: 9.1x\nInterest-bearing debt: 4,000,000,000 yen (redeemed)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#InHouseShareCost, #MediumTermManagementPlan2026-2030, #CapitalEfficiency, #GovernanceEnhancement","jir_key_figures":"ROE: 8.9% (YoY +2.3 points)\nPBR: 0.81x\nPER: 9.1x","jir_meta_title":"Geolive Group: Update on Capital Cost Considerations | September 2026","jir_meta_description":"Geolive Group provides an update on current status and future initiatives focused on capital cost and stock price awareness.
