Reason for the revision

The HR Technology business reported first-quarter results above expectations, and its earnings outlook for the second quarter onward also exceeded expectations. The Staffing business is progressing broadly in line with the previous full-year earnings outlook, so only minor revisions were made, while the Marketing, Matching and Technology business outlook was unchanged. The outlook for assumed exchange rates and share-based compensation expenses was also reviewed. The financial impact of the on-site inspection by the Japan Fair Trade Commission has not been taken into account in the earnings forecasts because it is difficult to reasonably estimate.
