「During the second-quarter consolidated accounting period, we continued maintaining Spider Digital Transfer, which had entered full-scale operation at デジタルアセットマーケッツ, while also obtaining a new patent and preparing for a new era of digital finance.」

「デジタルアセットマーケッツ began handling Zipang Coin, a crypto asset designed to track the price of gold, on 17 February 2022, bringing the Spider Digital Transfer system we provided into full-scale operation. We will continue to support デジタルアセットマーケッツ at the systems level as it seeks to achieve the integration of finance and technology through a highly innovative system backed by granted patents.」

In addition, by providing optimal solutions in response to requests from existing customers, revenue increased 9.3% from the previous fiscal year to ¥1,759 million. Segment profit increased substantially to ¥597 million, as the company worked to shorten lead times and improve development efficiency.」

「Revenue from customers other than securities companies, our main customers in the past, has been increasing, including projects to enhance the functions of the implemented next-generation platform Spider Digital Transfer. We have also received many inquiries from existing customers by leveraging the technological expertise we have developed to provide new solutions that address their problems and challenges, and business performance is progressing steadily.」

「We will actively pursue new growth areas in fintech by combining functional enhancements to the implemented next-generation platform with new technologies and the financial services we have developed to date.」

「In the first quarter under review, implementation progressed on projects ordered in the previous fiscal year from デジタルアセットマーケッツ and others, which are equity-method affiliates, for Spider, our main product. As a result, revenue increased by 113.4% year on year to ¥356 million. Orders for functional enhancements to Spider also continued to accumulate steadily, and we remain focused on development. However, reflecting the effect of higher revenue, segment profit increased substantially year on year to ¥130 million.」

「In the Financial Solutions business, we have historically implemented systems mainly for securities companies. However, Spider, a next-generation infrastructure system built around new concepts such as blockchain, targets various operating companies and has also been introduced at major trading companies. Going forward, we will advance development and strengthen sales to make Spider a core source of revenue.」

As a result, revenue increased to ¥991 million, or 107.5% of the prior-year period, while segment profit improved substantially to ¥236 million.
