Revenue grew steadily due to existing order backlog, new project acquisitions, and on-premises product sales. Operating profit exceeded previous periods due to absorbing the effects of a weak yen, increased personnel and sales expenses through business expansion. Focus on security products such as cloud-based security solutions, email security products to protect against ransomware attacks, and solutions to visualize vulnerabilities inherent in security awareness training for companies and organizations are seeing increased attention and performance growth.

Revenue from the application services business increased by 13.2% to ¥4.385 billion, while operating profit increased by 85.0% to ¥0.159 billion. Performance during this interim period was favorable, surpassing previous periods in order receipts, revenue, and operating profit.

In the software quality assurance field, demand for testing tools in the automotive sector continued to be strong, surpassing the previous period's order records. Investments in product development, marketing, and recruitment of engineering and sales personnel led to maintained levels of operating profit compared to the previous period.

Revenue from the medical systems business increased by 1.2% to ¥4.409 billion, while operating profit decreased by 38.9% to ¥0.304 billion. Performance during this interim period was strong with robust orders for the medical information cloud service "NOBORI", leading to an increase in cumulative contract facilities. Service contract renewals from existing users were obtained without missing out, resulting in order receipts and revenue surpassing the previous period's actual and planned values. Operating profit decreased compared to the previous period due to factors such as the cloud shift of Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), increased personnel for business expansion, and active development investments.
