Net income for the half-year improved despite tax effects. EBITDA recovery was also notable. Full-year guidance remains under maintenance, with a plan to incorporate R&D investment of just under 1 billion yen.\n\n### Outlook and strategy\nContinue a growth strategy centered on Discovery. To balance short-term closure of unprofitable projects with long-term value creation, advance a three-theme research roadmap. Full balancing and making it a wholly-owned subsidiary will expand the portfolio in EC development and D2C areas. Maintain the policy of an annual dividend of 29 yen. Strengthen business architects to adapt to the era of Generative AI, and establish a Business Design \/ Service Design department to reinforce our position as a strategic partner to our clients.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales: 4,964 million yen (YoY 96.3%)\nOperating income: 166 million yen (YoY due to additional increase (return to profit))\nOrdinary income: 156 million yen (YoY increase)\nNet income for the half-year: 67 million yen (YoY increase)\nEBITDA: 253 million yen (Significant year-on-year increase)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShareBuyback, #Earnings, #M&A","jir_key_figures":"Sales: 4,964 million yen\uff08YoY 96.3%\uff09\nOperating income: 166 million yen\uff08Full-year revision to profit\uff09\nEBITDA: 253 million yen\uff08Significant YoY increase\uff09","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Appliotts Co., Ltd.\u3011FY2027 2Q Results Announcement | Net sales at prior-year level, profitability returned","jir_meta_description":"Appliotts Co., Ltd.
