Expansion of the web marketing business through the conversion of 日本ジョイントソリューションズ into a subsidiary

「Our group has a broad customer base spanning manufacturers, distributors, telecommunications operators and IT companies.

「In Other, new projects were secured in businesses including website development, advertising production and marketing consulting, systems development and engineer staffing, and asset investments such as investments in domestic and overseas venture companies and solar power generation. However, during the six-month interim consolidated accounting period, costs preceded revenue.」

「On 3 April 2023, 日本ジョイントソリューションズ株式会社, our consolidated subsidiary, acquired all shares of 株式会社リバース, making it a consolidated subsidiary of our group. With リバース joining our group, we expect to be able to offer higher-value-added services and propose more suitable solutions than before in the website development, advertising production and creative direction, and marketing consulting businesses, which are expected to grow going forward, thereby contributing to an increase in our group's corporate value.」

However, segment profit (operating profit) was a loss of ¥5 million, compared with a loss of ¥28 million in the same period of the previous year, because of depreciation and other costs related to equipment for the intelligent stereo camera business.」

Segment profit (operating profit) was a profit of ¥0 million, compared with a loss of ¥21 million in the same period of the previous year, despite the recognition of development costs for the intelligent stereo camera business.」

「In the Other business, in addition to including 日本ジョイントソリューションズ株式会社, which provides website development and marketing consulting services, in the scope of consolidation at the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, we have positioned ミナト・フィナンシャル・パートナーズ株式会社 and other companies, which provide arrangement and brokerage services for corporate acquisitions and related consulting, as development businesses within Other.」
