  1. FY2026MaterialisedAnnual report

    「With respect to goodwill related to Grapesystem, the business environment from the next consolidated fiscal year onward is expected to deteriorate significantly due to customers restraining investment in response to changes in the external and business environments and the termination of an agency agreement for a core product. As the originally anticipated earnings can no longer be expected, the carrying amount was reduced to its recoverable amount, and the reduction was recorded as an impairment loss within extraordinary losses.」

    The Company recorded an impairment loss of ¥137.875 million on goodwill associated with the acquisition of 株式会社グレープシステム following restrained customer investment and the termination of the agency agreement for a core product. A risk that had been assessed as having no indications of impairment in FY2025 materialized.

    「Goodwill of ¥348.407 million, including ¥155.362 million relating to 株式会社ライトストーン and ¥193.045 million relating to 株式会社グレープシステム. Based on the assessment, the Company determined that there were no indications of impairment for this goodwill and recognized no impairment loss.」

    For FY2024, the Company determined that there were indications of impairment for 株式会社グレープシステム, whereas for FY2025 it determined that there were no indications of impairment and recognized no impairment loss.
