Overview of Operating Results
Overview of operating results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026
During the current consolidated fiscal year, the Japanese economy experienced a moderate recovery in employment and income. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to factors such as the impact of trade policies of the United States and other countries, and the impact of escalating international tensions on resource prices.
Our Company Group has designated the period from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 as its BSR*1 Expansion Phase. Under this plan, during the current fiscal year, we have launched new services embodying next-generation communication into the market. We also expanded our platform business and pursued deeper market development in speech recognition.
During the current fiscal year, amid the rising need for companies to leverage AI technologies to improve productivity, we continued to see a steady increase in usage of our AI speech recognition AmiVoice® API (AmiVoice® Cloud Platform (ACP)), which serves as its interface, and a steady increase in adoption of our various AmiVoice® AI speech recognition products and services. We also invested in hiring and in R&D to support the future launch of our next-generation communication services and the expansion of our platform business.
Net sales: In BSR1 (first growth engine), net sales increased in the CTI Department, VoXT Business Department and Medical Business Department, resulting in a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. In BSR2 (second growth engine), net sales increased in the Overseas Business Division and BDC Division, resulting in a year-on-year increase of 19.5%. As a result, net sales for the Group as a whole increased 6.0% year-on-year, reaching a record high.
Profit and loss: In BSR1 (first growth engine), operating profit was down 1.1% year-on-year, due in part to the increase in cost of goods sold and due to investments in hiring and development. In BSR2 (second growth engine), the operating loss was reduced. As a result, operating profit for the Group as a whole declined 0.2% year-on-year. Ordinary profit was up 1.2% year-on-year, due in part to the increase in interest income from rising interest-rates and due to the increase in foreign exchange gains driven by the weak yen. Due to gains on sale of investment securities, profit attributable to owners of parent increased 23.5% year-on-year. Ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent both reached record highs.
As a result, consolidated results for the fiscal year were: net sales of ¥7,063 million (¥6,665 million a year earlier), operating profit of ¥1,440 million (¥1,442 million a year earlier), ordinary profit of ¥1,558 million (¥1,539 million a year earlier), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥1,739 million (¥1,408 million a year earlier).

CTI*2 Department (for the contact center industry)
Working with sales partners, primarily major system integrators, we expanded the market deployment of our AI speech recognition solution for contact centers, AmiVoice® Communication Suite. We have also worked on enhancing integration for our product AmiVoice® ISR*3 Studio, a voicebot AI interactive voice responder service (AI-IVR*4) with external systems with the aim of improving usability and efficiency, while ensuring that it is not dependent on any specific environment and can integrate flexibly and seamlessly with a wide range of business systems. As part of the effort, we have integrated AmiVoice® ISR Studio with "kintone", a No Code product provided by Cybozu, Inc. By accessing customer information registered in kitone, AmiVoice® ISR Studio can deliver highly accurate and advanced automated phone responses. Additionally, we have released an update to further enhance the convenience and accuracy of our automated phone response system.
As a result, net sales increased due to a rise in the number of licenses and an improvement in the recurring ratio. However, operating profit decreased due to a decline in high-margin non-recurring sales and an increase in selling expenses and general administrative expenses.
Recurring ratio: 77.1% at end of previous fiscal year → 82.9% at end of current fiscal year
License count (cumulative): 82,779 at end of previous fiscal year → 95,430 at end of current fiscal year
*2) CTI: Computer Telephony Integration
*3) ISR: Interactive Speech Responder (automated interactive speech response system)
*4) IVR: Interactive Voice Responder (automated telephone response system)
VoXT*5 Business Department (assembly and meeting solutions)
We have promoted adoption of meeting minutes creation and transcription support applications and services based on AmiVoice® AI speech recognition. These include ScribeAssist, a standalone service; ProVoXT, a cloud service; and VoXT One, a platform that consolidates them both. We have signed a distributorship agreement with The Japan Agricultural News, Inc. to actively support the Japan Agricultural Cooperatives's digital transformation.
As a result, net sales increased due to a rise in the number of licenses. However, operating profit decreased due to an increase in selling expenses and general administrative expenses.
Recurring ratio: 91.2% at end of previous fiscal year → 96.7% at end of current fiscal year
License count for the two core products: 20,396 at end of previous fiscal year → 21,925 at end of current fiscal year
*5) VoXT: Voice teXTing (transcription)
Medical Business Department (for the healthcare industry)
Japan's "Workstyle Reform for Physicians" initiative has created the need for efforts to optimize physician working hours. Consequently, the need to improve efficiency of work among physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers in hospitals has increased. This drove brisk sales of our core products, the AmiVoice® Ex7 series of AI voice input software and AmiVoice® iNote, an AI speech recognition work-sharing service for healthcare. We have improved the user interface of AmiVoice® iNote to make it more intuitive, with the aim of enhancing usability in various usage scenarios. As a result, net sales and operating profit both increased due to a steady increase in usage and adoption of our main products.
Recurring ratio: 39.6% at end of previous fiscal year → 43.8% at end of current fiscal year
License count (cumulative): 64,775 at end of previous fiscal year → 68,991 at end of current fiscal year
SDX*6 Department (API/SDK; customer service and sales solutions; for the manufacturing and logistics industries)
The number of usage hours has increased for AmiVoice® Cloud Platform (ACP), a cloud engine service for AmiVoice® AI speech recognition engine platform. We have promoted deployment activities for AmiVoice® SalesBoost Platform, a platform designed to strengthen sales capabilities. It includes AmiVoice® RolePlay, which enables sales representatives to conduct self-training through AI-driven role-plays, and AmiVoice® SF-CMS*7, an AI-based conversation analytics solution. Also, we have developed and promoted deployment activities for our new solution AmiVoice® SalesAgent, that leverages generative AI to support, record, and analyze sales meetings, helping to improve outcomes of sales activities. We have also developed AmiVoice® Easy Viewer, our new service that directs inside sales by providing an advanced communication feature and a feature that lets users experience the benefits of using the product through website videos.
As a result, net sales decreased because we were unable to increase sales of products and usage of services based on our AmiVoice® AI speech recognition. Furthermore, operating profit decreased due to investment in hiring and development.
Recurring ratio: 71.9% at end of previous fiscal year → 76.2% at end of current fiscal year
Domain-specific engine user count (cumulative): 6,187 at end of previous fiscal year → 8,102 at end of current fiscal year
*6) SDX: Speech DX (Digital transformation with speech recognition).
*7) SF-CMS: AmiVoice® Communication Suite functionally expanded for sales applications (Sales Front CoMmunication Suite).

BDC Division (for the construction and real estate industries) and Overseas Business Division (for overseas companies)
BDC Division saw continued adoption of its AmiVoice® Super Inspection Platform (SIP), a construction project management platform service for the construction industry. As a result, the number of licenses increased steadily. Amid a worsening labor shortage in the construction industry, the staffing business grew significantly through leveraging of our SIP service. We have enhanced "Shortcut feature" (a feature that executes any shortcut key with a single tap) for AmiVoice® Talk Mouse, an application that uses iOS devices to operate a Windows PC's mouse and keyboard on behalf of users.
As a result, net sales increased due to a steady increase in usage and adoption of our main products. However, operating profit decreased due to an increase in selling expenses and general administrative expenses.
License count (cumulative): 69,344 at end of previous fiscal year → 85,932 at end of current fiscal year
The Overseas Business Division saw large usage from big clients. As a result, net sales increased significantly, and deficit was reduced.
Consolidated subsidiaries
AmiVoice Thai Co., Ltd. (Kingdom of Thailand) implemented business structural reforms aimed at securing projects from major customers and at improving profitability. As a result, net sales increased, and deficit was reduced.
Shorthand Center Tsukuba Co., Ltd. actively pursued securing project orders from local governments, courts, and private-sector clients. As a result, net sales and operating profit were both flat this year.
AmiSupport Co., Ltd. managed the staffing business of the BDC Division. We ran into a deficit because we were unable to recoup our upfront investments in recruitment and other expenses.
