- FY2026-H1Temporary decline in ARR following the departure of a major customerAnnual report
「As a result of these initiatives, ARR (Note 1), which our Group considers an important management metric, was ¥359.656 million in the interim consolidated accounting period, down 6.4% year on year and up 0.7% from the previous quarter. The year-on-year decline was attributable to the termination at the end of March 2026 of transactions with a major rental property operator, one of our Group’s major customers, which meant that revenue from services provided to that customer ceased to be generated from the current quarter. ARR has temporarily declined year on year since the termination of this transaction, but is expected to recover toward the second half of the fiscal year ending December 2026, as revenue from “BridgeLAB DR,” acquired under a performance-based fee arrangement, begins to make a full contribution to revenue and profit from the second half of the fiscal year ending December 2026.」
