Sales and Profits
FY2025/9 Results (Consolidated)
In Japan, the cloud sector continues to grow at a pace far exceeding the overall IT market. Microsoft's cloud portfolio, a core focus of our group, maintains strong market share across both application and infrastructure domains, and in the IaaS segment it stands alongside AWS as a market leader. For many customers, the initial wave of cloud adoption was triggered by the need to support remote work in the aftermath of Covid-19, particularly in infrastructure. Since the rise of generative AI, however, demand has expanded into full-scale digital transformation, with growing needs for cloud and AI utilization not only in information systems but also in customer-specific business IT areas. In the information systems domain, organizations are increasingly seeking to optimize siloed cloud environments and strengthen cybersecurity. To meet these needs, our group has evolved into a cloud integrator with deep expertise in communication infrastructure, built around Microsoft Cloud. As a result, business results for the consolidated fiscal year under review recorded net sales of 172.5 bil.yen (up 22.5% year-on-year), operating profit of 7.59 bil.yen (up 65.3% year-on-year).

FY2026/9 Financial Forecasts (Consolidated)
With corporate DX investments accelerating and spending on cloud and generative AI expanding, demand in the Japanese IT market continues to rise. This growth extends beyond the renewal of core enterprise systems to include the optimization of siloed IT infrastructure, data utilization for generative AI, and increasing needs for in-house development within business divisions to drive new business creation. To contribute to the acceleration of our customers' digital transformation (centered on the cloud), our group will transform from a communications infrastructure vendor with strengths in Microsoft Cloud to a business IT partner offering one-stop support for in-house development for business growth.
In FY2026/9, we plan to increase the scale of our overall business through the above measures, and by actively hiring and strengthening training of talent for further growth in the future. The Company forecasts an increase in both sales and profit.
