In FY2025, net sales grew steadily, up 24.4% year on year, and adjusted operating profit* rose sharply, up 137.0%. Each of our solutions grew steadily. Sansan, our flagship solution, continued its solid growth, while Bill One maintained a high growth rate. Profitability also improved substantially, making it a year of progress on both fronts: net sales growth and profitability.
Throughout FY2025, I felt a strong sense of promise in the expanding business opportunities created by Gen AI. Gen AI’s evolution brings possibilities for our solutions in that, what we could previously only describe as concepts, can now be implemented as concrete use cases. As I’m immersed daily in our solutions as both CEO and CPO, I’ve grown more convinced that Gen AI is not a substitute for our solutions. If anything, it greatly expands the value and abilities we can deliver.
With the Sansan sales AX solution, for example, the use of Gen AI is opening up new use cases in meeting preparation. Sansan can now combine business card and contact data with meeting history, contract information, and other data to organize and present the information users need based on their relationship with the company they are meeting. With the Bill One accounting AX solution, AI is expanding the range of work that can be eliminated. Specifically, Bill One has extended the value it provides from invoice receipt into expense and receivables management. Beyond that, we have our sights set on automating monthly closing.
The business data we’ve focused on since our founding underpins this evolution of our solutions. To effectively utilize Gen AI, a company needs the unique data it holds. Our solutions accurately digitize information generated in the course of business activities – from business cards and contacts, invoices, and contracts – and accumulate it as normalized, structured business data. The value of this business data will only increase further as Gen AI continues evolving.
Beyond the evolution of each individual solution, we can also create new value by drawing on the business data from each of our solutions across the board. We can combine data from Sansan, Bill One, Contract One, and others with the wide range of information our users already hold to help solve a broader set of business challenges.
No one can accurately predict how Gen AI will evolve from here. What we do believe is that we can leverage the strength in business data we have built up to further increase the value our existing solutions provide, while also creating new business opportunities. We will turn the major shifts presented by Gen AI into concrete growth.
We sincerely ask all our stakeholders for their continued support.
