Performance Trend 1. Overview of performance for FY3/2024 Consolidated performance for FY3/2024 of G-7 Holdings <7508> was 192,992 million yen in increased operating income of 9.1% over the previous year, and increased ordinary income of 7.4% to 7,318 million yen, and attributed to the parent company's net income of 5,175 million yen, an increase of 35.3% over the previous year. Sales were driven by the Business Supermarket Business and the Meat Business, and continued to set a new record high, exceeding the company's plan by 4.3%. However, in terms of profits, the automobile-related business was affected by a decrease in profits due to poor sales of winter tires due to a warm winter, and could not reach the company's plan, it turned to a profit increase for the second time due to the growth of other businesses centered on the Business Supermarket business. The sales cost ratio has increased by 0.8 points over the previous year due to changes in the sales composition ratio; however, the selling, general and administrative expense ratio decreased by 0.7 points due to the effect of increased earnings, and the operating margin decreased by 0.1 points to 3.6%. The main reasons for the increase/decrease of selling, general and administrative expenses were a decrease of 600 million yen in energy costs due to subsidies from rising electricity prices, and an increase of 1 billion yen in labor costs due to improvements in employee treatment and increased education costs. In addition to this, depreciation expenses increased by nearly 600 million yen due to rising construction material costs and rising costs of opening stores etc. The EBITDA margin has increased by 0.1 points from the previous year. Also, the reason for the large increase in the net income of the parent company's shareholders attributable to the current period is due to the elimination of 500 million yen in retirement benefits paid to executives that were recorded as special losses in the previous year, a decrease of 455 million yen in impairment losses, and a gain of 127 million yen on the sale of investment securities in FY3/2024.

1. Performance trends for the first half of fiscal year 2024. 2. Financial conditions for the first half of fiscal year 2024. 1. The performance of P. B. Systems <4447> in the first half of the 2024 fiscal year landed with a significant increase in revenue and a transition to profitability. Sales revenue increased by 26.9% year-on-year to 1,152 million yen. Operating profit was a profit of 120 million yen (a loss of 55 million yen in the same period last year), ordinary profit was a profit of 121 million yen (a loss of 60 million yen in the same period last year), and net profit for the quarter was a profit of 81 million yen (a loss of 42 million yen in the same period last year). In the product structure, 10-30 billion yuan products operating income of 401/1288/60 million yuan respectively. In the same period last year, there was a significant negative impact due to a high-difficulty VDI (desktop virtualization) project as a special factor, so the transition to profitability itself was within expectations. On the other hand, sales revenue decreased by 12.7%, operating profit increased by 0.6%, ordinary profit increased by 1.3%, and net profit for the quarter decreased by 0.6% compared to the initial plan for the first half of the year (sales revenue of 1,320 million yen, operating profit of 120 million yen, ordinary profit of 119 million yen, net profit for the quarter of 82 million yen). However, the profit of each stage progressed almost as planned, but the sales revenue was not reached. This is because several mid-sized project negotiations planned for this purpose were postponed after April, and we expect to complete these projects during the period, so we judge that there is no concern about the numerical progress of performance. On the profit and loss side, the improvement of the profit rate due to the doubling of high value-added products, which are essential for advanced cloud infrastructure in the Secure Cloud business, is a major factor. 2. At the end of the first half of fiscal year 2024, total assets were 1,893 million yen, a decrease of 87 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, total liabilities were 607 million yen, a decrease of 111 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, and total net assets were 1,285 million yen, an increase of 24 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Cash and deposits increased by 155 million yen, while there were decreases in notes receivable, accounts receivable, and contract assets (146 million yen), accounts payable (28 million yen), commodities and products (78 million yen), and long-term borrowings (18 million yen). There was also an increase in retained earnings due to net profit for the quarter (81 million yen) and a decrease due to the acquisition of treasury stock (57 million yen). As a result, the self-capital ratio at the end of the first half was 67.9% (up 4.2 percentage points from the end of the previous period), and financial stability has increased.
