The start of HRteam consolidation is expected to affect the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 as well, and increased fixed costs from additional hiring may pressures short-term profits.\n\n### New-Graduate Recruitment Market and Future Growth Opportunities\nIn the fiscal period centered on acceptances by graduates for the class of 2027, placement numbers have grown substantially by Year-over-Year +121% and recruitment placement revenue by +149% due to organic growth and the consolidation effect of HRteam. From the acceptance timing for the class of 2028 onward, growth is expected on a full-year basis, with market expansion anticipated as the shift from listing-based advertising to performance-based remuneration continues.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#PortIncIR, #NewGraduateRecruitmentMarket, #HRteamConsolidation","jir_key_figures":"Placement numbers Year-over-Year +121%\nRecruitment placement revenue Year-over-Year +149%\nGrowth outlook for Q1 of fiscal 2027 (centered on job offer acceptances)","jir_meta_title":"Port Inc. - Second Quarter Outlook and HRteam Consolidation Impact | October 2026","jir_meta_description":"Summary of Port Inc.'s investor Q&A.
