In particular, the rapid development of AI has reduced demand for routine tasks and lowered utilization rates. From Q2 onward, the company will accelerate measures to shift growth drivers to the AX domain, promoting development of competitive AX services, expansion of sales channels, and talent development. The company aims to commercialize AX within the fiscal year ending March 2027 and targets a recovery in the second half.\n\n### Outlook and Impact for Investors\nThe shift to the AX domain is positioned as a core medium- to long-term growth strategy to expand customer co-creation services in the AI era. In the short term the company will be affected by lower utilization rates, but through establishment of the AX headquarters, renewal of the sales organization, and talent development, it aims to restore revenue and profitability from the second half onward.","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue: Unknown (Unknown)\nValue-added Revenue: Unknown (Unknown)\nUtilization Rate: 74.2% (Year-over-Year -1.9pt)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShareBuyback, #ExecutiveAppointments","jir_key_figures":"Utilization Rate: 74.2% (Year-over-Year -1.9pt)\nRevenue and Value-added Revenue expected to fall short of prior guidance\nEstablishment of AX Headquarters; development of 30+ AX services per fiscal year\nTraining\/placement of 230 AX personnel; AI service delivery capacity of approx. 3,000 people","jir_meta_title":"Members Co., Ltd. \u2014 Notice of Revision to Earnings Guidance | September 2026","jir_meta_description":"Members Co., Ltd. explains slowed growth in first-half revenue and value-added revenue and lower utilization rates, and announces an accelerated shift to the AX domain.
