Operating income, ordinary income, and interim net income all returned to profitability; interim net income was boosted by a special gain from the sale of shares in an affiliated company. By segment, the consulting business showed notable profitability, while the Innovation business experienced a decline in revenue. The financial position is stable, with an equity ratio of 64.1% and an increase in cash and deposits.\n\n### Outlook and Capital Policy\nThe company is formulating the medium-term plan CRAFT2030 and intends to concentrate resources on the consulting business and DX\/regional co-creation business. The Innovation business will be scaled down in the second half and beyond, and a revision to the full-year earnings forecast has been announced. The dividend policy assumes a total annual dividend of 6 yen, including the year-end dividend, with a basic policy of a 30% payout ratio.
