Reason for the revision

Against a backdrop of slowing marketing activity by customers in the domestic SaaS segment, revenue from digital events and lead generation fell below expectations. The Company proceeded with investments to strengthen its CMS and data infrastructure and with advertising and promotional spending at 発注ナビ株式会社 within the scope of the initial plan. In addition, it recognized ¥65 million in advisory fees and other expenses related to 2 M&A transactions as one-off costs, resulting in operating profit and profit for the period falling below expectations.
