Second-Quarter Financial Results Presentation for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Revenue rose sharply in the cumulative second quarter, driven by upselling and cross-selling to existing customers and the acquisition of new customers. Operating profit and ordinary profit increased slightly, while net income declined due to head office relocation costs and upfront investments, among other factors. The full-year forecast remains unchanged.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Revenue increased due to upselling and cross-selling to existing customers, the start of transactions with new customers, and the continuation of some transactions with major business partners scheduled to end their relationships. Meanwhile, profits were reduced by a temporary decline in margins from an increase in spot projects and upfront investment in developing new services, higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to increased rent following the relocation and additional staffing, and a one-time extraordinary loss related to the head office relocation.
