「Because our revenue and operating profit tend to be weighted toward the second half, revenue and operating profit for the interim accounting period are tracking at a low level against the full-year earnings forecast. However, progress is broadly in line with expectations, and we intend to proceed with the second half as planned and achieve the earnings forecast.」
The company reaffirmed the tendency for revenue and operating profit to be weighted toward the second half and characterized the low interim progress as seasonal. - FY2025Updated seasonality dataAnnual report
「Revenue and operating profit tend to be concentrated in the fourth quarter, from October to December.」
Fourth-quarter revenue was ¥350,263 thousand, or 34.1% of annual revenue, and operating profit was ¥70,439 thousand.

「For the interim accounting period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025, our results tend to be concentrated toward fiscal year-end in terms of revenue and operating profit. This is due to the concentration of local-government support services at year-end and the year-end peak in demand for furusato tax. By contrast, during the interim accounting period, revenue, mainly from services for companies, tends to decline because it overlaps with the end and beginning of municipal fiscal years and serves as a preparation period for selecting contractors for municipal projects, resulting in seasonal fluctuations in results.」
The explanation of seasonal fluctuations was maintained, but the main source of interim revenue declines changed from services for local governments to services for companies. - FY2024Change in seasonal revenue mixAnnual report

「Our quarterly results tend to be concentrated toward the fourth quarter in terms of revenue and operating profit. This is due to the concentration of local-government support services and the year-end peak in demand for furusato tax. By contrast, revenue tends to decline in the first quarter, from January to March, and the second quarter, from April to June, because these periods are preparation periods for selecting contractors for municipal projects as municipal fiscal years end or begin, resulting in seasonal fluctuations in results.」
The company reaffirmed the concentration of revenue and operating profit in the fourth quarter and explained the seasonal factors of concentrated municipal services, year-end furusato tax demand and preparation periods in the first and second quarters. - FY2023First statedAnnual report
