In the company group, in order to respond to the transformation of experiential value after the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that consumer experience consumption is driving overall consumption, business activities are being conducted based on the concept of "IP × Digital × Lear." This positions IP (content license) as the starting point for consumer behavior change, digital as a touchpoint for direct communication with consumers, and lear as an experience where consumers can directly interact with commodities and gain emotional experiences, thereby enhancing added value in the sales promotion area by combining these elements. At the same time, the strengthening of the structured business that leverages strengths such as procurement capabilities and quality control capabilities built up to the present has been emphasized. Specifically, the focus is primarily on three main services: 1. Utilizing the company's primary digital communication to connect directly with consumers and offer comprehensive digital promotion services, alongside the provision of promotion services that link distribution and retail companies with food and beverage manufacturers that the company group trades with, 2. Providing BPO services aiming for long-term partnership by devising solutions tailored to customer issues and offering unique services, and 3. Centered on the development of high-value-added services and the provision of prospective business "sales services." In particular, for the BPO services that are focused on business expansion, the new platform "Tas-Karu-Sys" that can centrally manage the procurement operations of promotional materials will commence from this term, supporting the customer's business operation internally, while also aiming for further expansion towards the company's stable revenue acquisition.

Regarding the sales situation by industry, in the food service and various service industries, sales increased due to the commencement of domestic BPO projects involving IP, while in the distribution and retail trade industries, difficulties were faced due to the loss of large-scale promotion projects utilizing IP that had been anticipated at the beginning of the term and the decrease in manufacturer-sponsored initiatives.
