Financial Results Briefing Materials for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending November 2026

Revenue increased 11.3% year on year, driven by the SES business transferred from コプロテクノロジー through M&A and an increase in the number of engineers. Profit declined due to M&A-related expenses, additional labor hours on large-scale projects, bench costs and other factors, while the full-year earnings forecast was left unchanged.

The reasons the company gives

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

On the revenue side, results benefited from the contribution of the SES business transferred from コプロテクノロジー, an increase in the number of engineers and higher revenue per engineer. On the profit side, results were affected by M&A-related expenses of ¥82 million, labor hours exceeding assumptions on certain large-scale projects, existing-system maintenance costs following a review of the system migration schedule, and bench costs resulting from a sharp drop in demand from major customers.
