Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2026 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 13 February 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
In the Staffing and Placement segment, net sales fell below the forecast due to the growing adoption of AI in offices and intensifying competition. In the Media segment, the Company maintained growth through deeper sales activities with agencies, but results fell short of the initial forecast, causing consolidated net sales to fall below the forecast. Meanwhile, the Company controlled expenses including IT investments, recruitment advertising, outsourcing and recruitment costs, reducing selling, general and administrative expenses by more than the decline in profit resulting from the decrease in net sales. This was in addition to unexpected subsidy income and recoveries of amounts previously written off as bad debts.
