Emphasis on Revenue Growth Rate, Operating Margin, and Revenue per Employee

「Our group uses productivity, meaning that each individual generates greater value, and customer depth, meaning that we provide greater value to each client, as indicators, and will disclose the following 2 indicators. We will not pursue the number of M&A process steps completed, which had been a KPI through the previous consolidated fiscal year, but will continue to pursue M&A with an emphasis on quality.」

「Our group is working to build a structure that enables revenue growth while curbing earnings volatility. To achieve this, we have created a KPI tree based on operating profit and will disclose 3 indicators.」

「From the standpoint of securing higher growth, our group regards revenue growth as an important management indicator. We have also broken revenue down into services addressing individual issues and services addressing common issues, and established the "number of front-line personnel" and the "number of campaigns conducted," respectively, as important indicators contributing to revenue for each service. In addition, we have established the "annual transaction volume mix by business partner" as a group-wide indicator.」

「From the standpoint of securing higher growth and profitability, we regard revenue growth and operating margin as important management indicators. In addition, because we aim to provide high added value to client companies through a small team of highly capable consultants, we also identify an increase in revenue per employee as an important indicator.」
