Financial Results Briefing Materials for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue declined due to lower license and consulting revenue. Combined with increased investment in AI product development and higher SG&A expenses, this resulted in a significant decline in profit. Meanwhile, professional services and subscription revenue exceeded the year-earlier period.
