Reason for revision or withdrawal
Revenue was 2.1% below plan overall because the career support business exceeded plan while the WEB content services business fell short. Operating profit and ordinary profit also fell below plan because of the revenue shortfall and upfront investments to expand the business. In addition, net income fell significantly below plan because an impairment loss was recognised on investment securities.

Going forward, the Company plans to expand business scale and earnings power through the monetisation and standalone provision of KOSEN Plus, the use of AI, and upselling to existing customers.
