The lowest price of the year has been updated. In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2024, the cumulative revenue was 306 million yen and the operating profit was 14 million yen. As the quarterly financial statements were not prepared for the same period of the previous year, there was no description of the increase or decrease rate, but it is said that sales decreased by 2.1% and operating profit decreased significantly by 75.4% compared to the same period of the previous year according to the earnings presentation material, which caused concern. However, M&A needs of small and medium-sized enterprises are steadily increasing, and the 24 fiscal year ending October performance forecast has been maintained with double-digit increase in revenue and profit, with revenue up 21.3% and operating profit up 39.1% compared to the previous year.

In addition to improving contract prices, the number of employees has increased due to promotion of hiring of personnel. As a result of sending out personnel to meet customer needs, the number of workers has also increased, and strategic hiring expenses have been implemented to improve the treatment of technical personnel.

Dropped sharply. The cumulative revenue for Q3 of the fiscal year ending in July 24 increased by 9.9% compared to the same period last year to 11.271 billion yen and the operating profit increased by 147.1% to 405 million yen. The revenue from the sale of real estate for sale is scheduled for the Q4 period, but the cost-cutting measures have been more effective than expected, and the progress rate is around 80% due to the inclusion of 'subsidy income' for the development of nurseries in the Q3 as planned. The year-end dividend for this fiscal period was raised by 4 yen, and the full-year dividend was revised upward from the conventional plan of 16 yen to 20 yen, but it seems to have fallen short of investor expectations.
