Executive summary
Q1 FY2027 revenue rose 8.7% YoY to ¥2,036.8m; operating profit increased 0.2% to ¥182.7m, ahead of plan.
Results reflected strong AI and ServiceNow demand; lower hiring costs and delayed system-upgrade expenses supported operating profit, while HQ relocation and ERP-related SG&A weighed on it.
Full-year guidance remains unchanged, with profit expected to be weighted toward H2.
Financial highlights
Gross profit rose to ¥510.2m from ¥488.2m; gross margin was 25.0%, versus 24.7% a year earlier.
Operating margin was 9.0%, versus 9.7% YoY; ordinary profit was ¥191.7m, up 4.9%.
Net profit attributable to parent shareholders fell 17.2% to ¥128.2m; the prior-year quarter included a ¥46.2m securities-sale gain that did not recur.
SG&A rose to ¥327.4m from ¥305.9m.

FY2027 guidance: revenue ¥9,278m (+19.3%), operating profit ¥966m (+40.9%), ordinary profit ¥986m (+35.8%), and net profit ¥679m (+14.9%).
Full-year growth assumes stronger priority businesses and operating profit growth ahead of sales, supported by project-mix optimization and productivity gains.
Business Solutions forecast: revenue ¥4,242m (+22.6%) and gross profit ¥975m (+57.9%); Technology Solutions revenue ¥4,113m (+14.9%) and Consulting revenue ¥921m (+25.5%).
