Reason for the revision

The number of active customer companies in the BPaaS business was 992 as of the end of May 2026, below the initial plan of 1,076, while ARPU was ¥289,000, below the planned ¥298,000. AI training in the AI Tech business is not expected to make a full contribution to revenue until the following fiscal year or later, due to customers’ training schedules and other factors. Meanwhile, profit at each stage was left unchanged because reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses and tighter control of advertising investment and costs are progressing.

Previous-period resultsRevenue: ¥4,588 million; operating loss: ¥382 million; ordinary loss: ¥386 million; loss attributable to owners of the parent: ¥393 million; loss per share: ¥200.59 (fiscal year ended August 2025)

The reasons the company gives

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

In the BPaaS business, the number of active customer companies and ARPU are below plan, and AI training is not expected to make a full contribution to revenue until the following fiscal year or later. Accordingly, the revenue forecast was revised downward. Meanwhile, the forecasts for profit were left unchanged because reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses and tighter control of advertising investment and costs are progressing. The medium-term management plan was withdrawn because the structural shift to a business model based on AI has made it difficult to maintain consistency with the previous plan.
