Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 First-Quarter Financial Results Presentation

In the first quarter, revenue was below the year-earlier level, while gross profit and net income attributable to owners of the parent improved, and operating and ordinary losses narrowed. While ファングリー, which serves mid-sized companies, turned profitable, a decline in orders and an increase in maintenance cancellations at the unit serving small and regional companies delayed overall progress.

The reasons the company gives

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

At the unit serving small and regional companies, a decline in orders and an increase in maintenance-service cancellations were the main factors behind the decreases in revenue and profit. At ファングリー, cost-control measures and an improved gross margin, and at アザナ, the accumulation of recurring revenue and increased online advertising, contributed to improved performance.
