In the fiscal year 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 increase future profitability.
Consequently, results were strong in the fiscal year under review with net sales increasing 32.8% year on year, gross profit increasing 32.0% year on year (with a gross profit margin of 85.1%). Adjusted operating profit increased 81.5% year on year mainly due to a decline in the ratio of advertising expenses to net sales, in addition to an increase in net sales. Meanwhile, ordinary profit increased 903.3% year on year mainly due to the absence of one-off expenses related to trust-type stock options recorded in the previous fiscal year, as well as the increase in adjusted operating profit. Furthermore, profit attributable to owners of parent turned into black (¥141 million of loss for the previous fiscal year) on the back of strong ordinary profit, despite the recording of loss on valuation of investment securities of ¥380 million in extraordinary losses.
