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

In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue and profit increased, driven by growth in the corporate brand support business and the consolidated impact of M&A. The full-year earnings forecast was left unchanged because, although first-half performance is tracking ahead of the internal plan, the company expects a greater concentration of earnings in the second half.
