Summary of Q&AFirst quarter of the fiscal year ending March 20274 items taken from the company’s own explanation
What the company explained in this material
Key points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
- Slower growth in order intake and impact on revenue: The company responded that order intake growth slowed because orders under the EX option were recognized in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, but the impact on revenue would be minor and there would be no negative impact on the full-year forecast.
- Shift from the success-fee-based plan to the early fixed-fee plan: The company responded that although the per-hire fee would decline, the shift would be positive over the medium to long term due to greater revenue certainty, higher customer satisfaction and repeat rates, and stable cash flow.
- Change in management structure: The company responded that Nakano (中野氏) would become Representative Director and Chairman, while Yamada (山田氏) would become Representative Director, President and CEO, with responsibilities for oversight and external relations divided from business execution.
New initiatives
- Actively promote the shift to the early fixed-fee plan
- Use funds generated through advance payments for growth investments, including product development and marketing
- Divide responsibilities under the new management structure between the Representative Director and Chairman and the Representative Director, President and CEO

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Orders for the early fixed-fee plan (EX option) were recognized in the previous fiscal year, resulting in slower year-on-year growth in order intake this fiscal year. Revenue, however, is recognized on a pro rata basis over the service period, so the impact is minor. The company explained that the shift to the early fixed-fee plan will improve revenue certainty, customer satisfaction and repeat rates, and generate stable cash flow through advance payments. Regarding the change in management structure, the company expects clearer delineation of responsibilities to accelerate decision-making and improvements.
