Financial Results Presentation for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending February 2027

In the first half of the fiscal year ending February 2027, consolidated revenue and profit substantially exceeded the same period of the previous year, driven by the weaker yen and G-gen's partner fund, among other factors. In light of the strong progress, the full-year forecasts for revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit and net income were revised upward.

  1. The main factors behind the substantial increase in operating profit were the effect of the weaker yen, the partner fund and the resolution of unprofitable projects.
  2. The decline in non-consolidated operating profit was due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses from upfront investment in hiring, the renewal of core business systems and the use of generative AI.
  3. Partner funds may recur, but the amount and timing vary by fiscal year, and no definitive outlook can be disclosed.
  4. The company forecasts a decline in profit in the second half from the first half, reflecting one-time expenses, personnel expenses and strategic pricing proposals, but expects profit to increase from the second half of the previous year.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

Gross profit and operating profit increased due to higher resale revenue resulting from the weaker yen, growth in cloud integration and MSP, G-gen's partner fund, and the resolution of the impact of unprofitable projects. On a non-consolidated basis, however, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to upfront investment in the growth platform, including hiring, the renewal of core business systems and company-wide use of generative AI.
