FY2027 Medium-Term Management Plan - Business Plan and Matters Concerning Growth Potential-

A new four-year plan has been formulated, replacing the previous plan that targeted ¥1.5 billion in operating profit for FY2028. The new plan targets ¥1 billion in operating profit and approximately ¥3 billion in revenue by FY2030 using the existing group alone. The policy has been changed so that the effects of M&A will not be incorporated into the plan and will instead be added when each transaction is completed.

Statements about the use of capital
Payout ratio / DOE policyThe goal is to progressively raise the total payout ratio, including dividends, share repurchases and shareholder benefits, to 15% or more. Target period: Not disclosed.The payout ratio is the proportion of profit paid out as dividends, while DOE is the ratio of dividends to net assets.
Treasury share acquisition policyThe company will consider conducting share repurchases once a stable accumulation of profits has been confirmed. Repurchase capacity, amount and timing: Not disclosed.
Self-assessment of PBR and share priceThe current market capitalization is approximately ¥3 billion and the share price is ¥447. The company assesses that growth expectations have not yet been reflected in the share price. A ¥10 billion market capitalization would correspond to a share price of approximately ¥1,490, but this is not a target or forecast for the share price.PBR is a measure of how many times the share price is the book value per share.

Collaboration expanded, but the pace was slower than anticipated and the ramp-up lead time had not been sufficiently factored in. M&A will not be incorporated into the plan and will be added upon completion of each transaction. With effectively only one year remaining until the deadline, the plan's targets and time frame were reassessed.

The reasons the company gives

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

Although collaboration expanded, the pace was slower than anticipated because the ramp-up lead time had not been sufficiently factored in. In addition, the policy was changed so that M&A would not be incorporated into the plan and would instead be added upon completion of each transaction. With effectively only one year remaining until the deadline, the plan's targets and time frame were reassessed.
