Summary of Q&ASecond quarter of the fiscal year ending October 20262 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
  1. TobilaPhone Biz and Biz Lite differ in the number of supported channels, target customer segments, and use cases, so the possibility of significant cannibalization is considered low.
  2. Replacements of TobilaPhone Biz are expected to gradually increase from next year onward, with customer guidance to be provided by the Company and through its distributors.
  3. The Company will strengthen its direct-sales structure and sales structure for distributors for TobilaPhone Cloud, and plans to grow sales through distributors going forward.
  4. As most of the personnel hired this fiscal year were mid-career hires, the Company expects them to contribute within a relatively short period. Contributions from the sales planning division are expected to emerge gradually from the next fiscal year onward. However, the specific timing and impact will be determined after assessing the ramp-up and progress of the initiatives.
  5. The increase in flow-based revenue in the second quarter was mainly attributable to higher Biz sales volumes, initial fees associated with an increase in Cloud contracts, and higher sales of desk-phone devices.
  6. The ¥50 million loan to the CFO was approved after deliberation of the loan terms, repayment prospects, and asset protection, and was used to acquire shares in the Company.
New initiatives
  • Strengthening the direct-sales structure for TobilaPhone Cloud
  • Strengthening the sales structure for TobilaPhone Cloud aimed at distributors and expanding sales opportunities

The reasons the company gives

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

The increase in flow-based revenue was mainly attributable to higher sales volumes of TobilaPhone Biz, initial fees associated with an increase in TobilaPhone Cloud contracts, and higher device sales resulting from increased demand for desk phones among Cloud customers. The loan to the CFO was explained as being intended to enable the director to acquire shares in the Company and strengthen their commitment to enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term.
