What the company explained in this material
Self-assessment against the planThe company's self-assessment against its own plan.
Progress in line with planKey points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
- First-half revenue was ¥3.73 billion and the operating loss was ¥80 million, which was assessed as progress in line with the full-year plan.
- Although weaker demand for used-car exports due to the situation in the Middle East affected some dealer-to-dealer sales, the loss in the Automotive Industry DX Business narrowed by ¥73 million as the customer base expanded and costs became more efficient.
- The company plans to pursue roll-up M&A targeting used-car dealerships nationwide, using its automotive dealership DX model.
- The company plans to prioritize profitability in advertising expenses and maintain them at approximately the same level as the ¥420 million recorded in the fiscal year ended December 2025.
- Contract backlog is managed as the foundation for future revenue and monitored together with the balance between advertising expenses and spot revenue.
