Overview of business results for the current quarter

During the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year, the global economy remained uncertain due to the prolonged trade friction between the United States and China, as well as heightened geopolitical risks stemming from the situation in the Middle East and Ukraine.
In the current fiscal year, the final year of our medium-term management plan "RISE TO GROWTH 2026," our group is promoting various measures based on our seven key strategies and ESG strategy. During the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year, in order to enhance our sustainable growth, we have strived to further expand sales and profits by proposing new ways of working and office spaces that implement those ways of working, and by developing sales activities that focus on value enhancement.
