First-Quarter Financial Results Briefing Materials for the Fiscal Year Ending May 2027

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending May 2027, revenue rose 8.7% year on year and operating profit rose 0.2%. Revenue was broadly in line with expectations, while operating profit exceeded expectations because recruiting-related costs were lower than expected and system renewal costs shifted between periods. However, the start of ERP projects was delayed and the consulting business fell short of expectations.

The reasons the company gives

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

AI and ServiceNow projects performed well, while the start of ERP projects was delayed and the consulting business fell slightly short of expectations partly because some projects ended. Operating profit exceeded expectations because recruiting-related costs were lower than expected and system renewal costs shifted between periods.
