Expanding Growth Areas through M&A Investment and Third-Party Maintenance Services

「Through this share acquisition, the Group will add the financial sector served by 株式会社システムズサービス to its existing industries, centered on government agencies and manufacturing. This will diversify the users and business areas it serves, drive growth in the Core area of its business portfolio and further strengthen its earnings base.」

「At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on 15 January 2026, the Company resolved to acquire the shares of 株式会社システムズサービス and make it a consolidated subsidiary, entered into a share transfer agreement on the same date, and acquired the shares on 29 January 2026 under the agreement.」

「We are also pursuing M&A to acquire new subsidiaries, primarily IT business companies serving businesses in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Although this was not achieved in the first year, we are identifying potential deals with the goal of acquiring 2 companies by the fiscal year ending June 2028.」

「In third-party maintenance services, parts sales were recovering from the impact of customer inventory adjustments, while maintenance and rentals remained broadly solid.」

「In the IT solutions business, the profit and loss of the newly added subsidiary, 株式会社プライムシステムデザイン, became subject to consolidation from the fourth quarter. Revenue increased due to the company’s addition, deeper sales efforts with existing customers, business expansion following recognition as a strategic partner by a manufacturer, and orders secured by capturing public-sector demand for GIS solutions.」

「In M&A, on 21 December 2023, we entered into a share transfer agreement to acquire shares in 株式会社プライムシステムデザイン, and on 11 January 2024, acquired 80% of its issued shares and made it a subsidiary. Consolidation of the company began at the end of this quarter. Because its fiscal year ends in March, 3 months out of sync with our fiscal year, its income statement is scheduled to be incorporated beginning with the consolidated accounting period for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending June 2024.」

「On 21 December 2023, we entered into a share transfer agreement to acquire shares in 株式会社プライムシステムデザイン, and on 11 January 2024, acquired 80% of its issued shares and made it a subsidiary. Going forward, we will expand our group’s SI and software development business in the Tokyo metropolitan area.」

「In third-party maintenance services, maintenance and rentals remained broadly solid. We are promoting system replacements using refurbished equipment.」

「We also began collaborating with 株式会社フィールドワン, which joined our group at the end of the previous fiscal year, on network construction. In third-party maintenance services, we recruited personnel to expand the range of supported equipment and advanced collaboration with our company on network construction.」

「The results of 株式会社フィールドワン, which became a consolidated subsidiary at the end of the previous fiscal year and provides third-party maintenance services, have been included. In third-party maintenance services, maintenance and rentals were solid, while system sales also arose in sales and repairs, and results progressed steadily.」

「Beginning this quarter, the results of 株式会社フィールドワン, which became a consolidated subsidiary at the end of the previous fiscal year and provides third-party maintenance services, have been included. In third-party maintenance services, the company focused on online communications, and although delivery timing changed in sales and repairs, results were steady, led by maintenance and rentals.」

「Going forward, with 株式会社フィールドワン joining our group, we will leverage the strengths of both businesses and extend the life cycles of products and systems through third-party maintenance services that reduce IT costs while ensuring stable operation. We will address customers’ needs to be environmentally conscious and promote the use of ecological IT products and systems.」
