Financial Results Presentation for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

For the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue and operating profit both exceeded the year-earlier period, and progress against the full-year forecast was also solid. However, cost of sales and SG&A expenses increased due to database investment, product development and investment in human resources, causing gross profit margin and operating margin to decline year on year.
