Summary of Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue and operating profit increased, while net profit declined because the gain on the sale of investment securities recorded in the previous fiscal year was absent and an impairment loss was recognized. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company expects higher revenue and profit and announced an annual dividend of ¥8.40, with shareholder returns guided by DOE and the dividend payout ratio.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

In the Jichitai Works (local-government services) business, revenue from each service remained solid, while the advertising business worked to maintain and improve productivity per employee. However, in addition to the absence of the ¥113,778 thousand gain on the sale of investment securities recorded in the previous fiscal year, the company recognized a ¥16,718 thousand impairment loss in the current fiscal year, resulting in a decrease in net income attributable to owners of the parent.
