In the period under review, backed by the positive order situation, the Group engaged in strengthening
the sales structure for Sansan and Bill One, as well as enhancing functions for each service, aiming for
further growth of net sales. In Eight Business, the Group worked to further increase future profitability
under its business policy focused on profitability.
Consequently, results were strong in the period under review with net sales increasing 27.5% year on
year, gross profit increasing 29.2% year on year, and a gross profit margin of 86.5%, up 1.1 percentage
points year on year. Adjusted operating profit increased 58.4% year on year mainly due to an increase
in net sales and a decline in the ratio of advertising expenses to net sales. Meanwhile, ordinary profit
decreased year on year due to a temporary large increase in share-based payment expenses in the first
quarter. Profit attributable to owners of parent increased significantly year on year due to the recording
of a gain on sale of investment securities of 416 million yen from the sale of a portion of the shares
held.
