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

In Q3 FY2026, revenue, operating profit, and net profit exceeded the same period of the previous fiscal year, driven by the consolidation of インターゾーン and growth in existing businesses. The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, with progress in Q4 on projects such as the AI Mobility OS project and large-scale projects identified as key to achieving the full-year targets.

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.

The main drivers of higher revenue and earnings were the full consolidation of インターゾーン, the accumulation of MRR, the acquisition of large-scale projects, and the emergence of benefits from upfront investments. The full-year forecast remains unchanged based on the assumption that the full consolidation of インターゾーン, large-scale projects, and the AI Mobility OS project will contribute in the second half.
