Overview of business performance

July 2026

Financial Results (Consolidated cumulative period for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027)

In the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year, the domestic economy showed a gradual recovery, but the need to closely monitor geopolitical risks remains. Looking ahead, while improvements in employment and income conditions and the effects of various policies are expected to support a gradual economic recovery, it is necessary to pay attention to downside risks, particularly the impact of the situation in the Middle East and fluctuations in financial and capital markets, and the outlook remains uncertain. In the information services industry to which our group belongs, the need for cloud computing, AI utilization, and data utilization is expanding, driven by companies' promotion of digital transformation and demand for refreshing legacy systems, and we expect IT investment to remain strong.
Against this backdrop, our group's mission is to "Connect the world’s data and make it useful for everyone." and we are driving a transformation of our business structure through the further expansion of our data integration business, centered on HULFT business and data platform business.

Our group's performance for the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year is as shown in the table below.

(Unit: million yen)

The main reason for the decline in revenue is the decrease in sales from our system outsourcing business. On the other hand, our data platform business is expanding due to increased sales of "HULFT Square," which we position as a growth driver. As a result, the ratio of sales from our data integration business, which we have set as an indicator to measure the transformation of our business structure from a system outsourcing model to a model of providing our own products and services, reached 58.0% (an increase of 4.1 percentage points compared to the same period last year). The main reason for the decline in profit is the decrease in profitability due to the decrease in sales.

The segment-by-segment performance for the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year is as follows. Inter-segment transactions have not been offset or eliminated below.
In the previous consolidated fiscal year, we adopted a functional organizational structure. However, starting from this consolidated fiscal year, we have changed to a hybrid structure combining a business-based organization and a functional organization, which balances business profitability with company-wide product and service development and operation functions. In conjunction with this change, in order to align the business structure with the segment classification, we have reclassified some of the "Data Platform Business" into the "System Outsourcing Business."


Comparisons and analyses with the previous first quarter consolidated cumulative period are conducted using the revised classifications.

(Unit: million yen)

HULFT Business

In this business, we provide sales and support services for our flagship products, "HULFT" and "DataSpider Servista," which are the standard data integration software in Japan, as well as related products.
Sales totaled 2,331 million yen (down 5.7% year-on-year). The main reason for the decrease in sales was the absence of large-scale license sales orders like those seen in the same period last year. Operating profit totaled 955 million yen (down 7.2% year-on-year). The main reason for the decrease in profit was the decline in sales, among other factors.

Data Platform Business

In this business, we leverage our strengths in "HULFT," "DataSpider Servista," and "HULFT Square," a Japan-developed iPaaS, to provide services that improve operational efficiency and drive business innovation by linking internal and inter-company systems with SaaS data.
Sales amounted to 597 million yen (a 23.1% increase compared to the same period last year). The main reason for the increase in sales was the increase in sales of "HULFT Square," among other factors. As the introduction of generation AI and AI agents becomes more widespread in many companies, and investment in ERP modernization and related systems expands, the adoption of "HULFT Square" is spreading, mainly among enterprise companies. As a result, sales of "HULFT Square" for the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year increased by 72.8% compared to the same period last year. In addition, due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses associated with a shift of resources to data integration business, an operating loss of 777 million yen was incurred (compared to an operating loss of 675 million yen in the same period last year). At present, there is no change to the estimate of the provision for order losses recorded in the previous consolidated fiscal year.

System outsourcing business

Our business primarily provides information processing services and system development and operation services to the financial and retail industries.
Sales amounted to 2,118 million yen (down 16.1% year-on-year). The main reason for the decrease in sales was a decline in information processing services, etc. Operating profit amounted to 27 million yen (down 75.2% year-on-year). The main reason for the decrease in profit was a decline in sales, etc.
