Executive summary
H1 FY27 net sales rose 9.3% YoY to ¥9,605 million; operating profit rose 29.4% to ¥629 million and net income rose 26.3% to ¥423 million.
Growth was driven by broad customer-industry demand, particularly manufacturing-sector IT operations and maintenance outsourcing; improved operating efficiency more than offset investment in head-office functions and employee development.

Ordinary profit increased 27.3% YoY to ¥650 million; profit before income taxes was ¥650 million and income taxes were ¥227 million.
Comprehensive income was ¥435 million versus ¥329 million YoY.
Outlook and guidance
FY27 forecast remains unchanged: net sales ¥18,300 million (+2.8% YoY), operating profit ¥1,260 million (+15.4%), ordinary profit ¥1,285 million (+11.5%), net income ¥856 million (+6.9%) and basic EPS ¥166.08.
FY27 annual dividend forecast is ¥61 per share, versus ¥58 for FY26; no dividend forecast revision was made.
