Targets for revenue, gross profit, and operating profit have been lowered, while the targets for the fiscal year ending February 2028 remain unchanged and the ordinary profit margin is maintained at the previous level.

Statements about the use of capital
Payout ratio / DOE policyA consolidated dividend payout ratio of approximately 20% to 30% and a total payout ratio of 25% to 50% as guidelines. A DOE floor of 1.0% as a guideline. The applicable period is each fiscal year.The payout ratio is the proportion of profit paid out as dividends, while DOE is the ratio of dividends to net assets.
Treasury share acquisition policyShare repurchases will be considered as an option, with a total payout ratio of 25% to 50% as a guideline. In April 2025 and January 2026, the Company completed two repurchases totaling 522,000 shares and approximately ¥1.116 billion.
Key initiatives
01Maximize LTV through resale in the most critical business areas
02Further advance the strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with AWS
03Enter strategic areas including security, generative AI, and overseas expansion
04To maximize future AI revenue, change the strategy again so that, for the time being, securing resale business through strategic pricing to gain market share is the top priority
05Control selling, general and administrative expenses through the use of AI and other measures
06Regarding a listing on the Prime Market, carefully consider the optimal timing to demonstrate to the market the sustainable growth potential and corporate value appropriate for a Prime-listed company over the medium to long term, rather than merely meeting formal requirements
Plan assumptionsThe exchange rate assumption for the new FY27 target is ¥150.22 per US dollar, compared with ¥152.75 under the previous mid-term plan. Exchange-rate sensitivity is ¥278 million in revenue and ¥26 million in profit per ¥1 change, annually.
Risks identified by the company
The possibility that the figures may fluctuate significantly due to exchange-rate movements
The difficulty of conducting precise simulations at present regarding the evolution of AI and the expansion of demand
Reason for revision or withdrawal

To establish a dominant position in the rapidly evolving AI market. The Company will prioritize securing large projects. Although this will temporarily reduce resale margins, it aims to improve long-term LTV by first securing the "foundation on which AI operates." Selling, general and administrative expenses will also be controlled through operational efficiencies achieved by using AI within the Company and other measures.
