Expected growth in demand for corporate video streaming services

「In the EVC business excluding pharmaceuticals, the use of video for education and information sharing within companies and organisations has progressed.」

「In the EVC business excluding pharmaceuticals, although events have increasingly returned to in-person formats, combined use with video and internal video use by companies and organisations have expanded. The Group focused on developing use cases for video in education and information sharing, as well as securing orders for webinars and online events for internal and external audiences.」

「In the EVC business excluding pharmaceuticals, use of video for sales promotion webinars and for education and information sharing within companies and organisations remained firm. Accordingly, recurring use of core services such as J-Stream Equipmedia and J-Stream CDNext, which function as infrastructure for delivering various types of information, also remained strong. Although companies that had held virtual general meetings of shareholders in response to COVID-19 also returned to in-person meetings, concentrated demand for such meetings in June still resulted in performance above the prior-year level. The Company also received large orders for website production for corporate sales promotion and information provision, as well as live streaming and various production services for internal corporate events. As a result, the segment as a whole outperformed the prior year.」

「In the EVC business excluding pharmaceuticals, the transition to Category 5 under the infectious disease classification for COVID-19 continued to encourage a return to in-person activities across all areas of corporate operations. Although large projects were recorded during the third quarter of the fiscal year for one-off use such as webinars for sales promotion and live events within companies and organisations, such use remained below the prior-year level for the full period. As a result, revenue from live events and network traffic was weak. For similar reasons, demand for website and video production also remained low. Use of core services such as J-Stream Equipmedia and J-Stream CDNext, which function as infrastructure for delivering various types of information, for internal and external information sharing, public relations and recruitment remained relatively firm.」

「In the EVC business excluding pharmaceuticals, the easing of restrictions related to COVID-19 implemented in May encouraged a return to in-person activities across various aspects of corporate operations. Revenue from virtual general meetings of shareholders, for which demand is concentrated in June, fell below expectations as companies placed greater emphasis on in-person meetings following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and the scope of services performed by the Company in individual projects narrowed. Recurring use of business infrastructure, including the Company's core services J-Stream Equipmedia and J-Stream CDNext, which function as infrastructure for delivering various types of information, as well as use for internal education, remained firm. However, demand for one-off use such as webinars for sales promotion and live events within companies and organisations declined, resulting in weak revenue from live events and network traffic. For similar reasons, demand for website and video production also remained low.」

「Although there was no increase in delivery usage fees resulting from the surge in access and traffic seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, use of video for webinars to promote sales and for education and information sharing within companies and organisations remained firm.」

「The trend toward returning to the office as the infectious disease situation subsided also led to a relative decline in interest in telework. However, interest in digital transformation (DX), which spread during the COVID-19 pandemic, remains high, and related services are attracting attention across many areas, including business model transformation, sales and efficiency improvements.」

「In the internet-related industry, interest in telework has declined relatively amid a trend toward returning to the office. However, the digital transformation (DX) trend that spread during the COVID-19 pandemic has continued, and interest in digitisation remains high across many areas, including business model transformation, sales and efficiency improvements.」

「Regarding COVID-19, new infections surged in July but began to decline in August, and normalization progressed, including the resumption of travel subsidies. This was accompanied by a move back to offices, which has reduced relative interest in telework. However, recognition has become widespread that promoting digital transformation (DX) is essential regardless of COVID-19 trends, and interest remains high in hybrid events combining in-person and online participation, as well as online information sharing, training, meetings and interviews.」
