  1. Overview of Operating Results, Etc.

    1. Overview of operating results

      During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, the Japanese economy showed signs of a moderate recovery driven by continued improvement in personal spending and capital investment partly due to the improving employment and income situation and the effects of various policy measures. On the other hand, in addition to downside risks from US trade policy, the effects of continued price hikes on personal consumption could put downward pressure on the Japanese economy, and the effects of financial and capital market volatility continue to require caution.

      In the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) business, which is the Group's core business, business model transformation to a solution-based model that promises higher profit margins through the use of new technologies such as generative AI is key. In such a market environment, we are striving to improve the quality of operations and added value, while also driving the development of new business domains through expansion of customer support domains in line with diversification of customer contact points and data utilization. By accelerating the three priority measures under our Mid-term Management Plan, defined as "Human Resources (Maximizing the active participation of our workforce of 40,000 employees)", "Stylization (Achieving more sophisticated data utilization)", and "Co-creation (Developing the NEW BPO areas)", we have sought to achieve sustainable growth.

      During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, in a "Stylization" initiative, we completed the development of "Knowledge Generator." As our first solution, "Knowledge Generator" carves out some of the processes of "Hybrid Operation Loop," the contact center automation solution that is currently under development. "Knowledge Generator" is proprietary technology for automatically generating highly accurate knowledge from phone recording data in line with the global KCS (Knowledge-Centered Service) principles for knowledge generation. We are integrating "Knowledge Generator" into our knowledge management services consulting menu and making it available ahead of Hybrid Operation Loop as a complete solution. This will make it possible to shorten the enormously time-consuming process of developing knowledge in line with the KCS methodology from phone recording data, making the process far more efficient. Through the activities of GenAI Co-Creation Lab., we are conducting demonstration experiments for "Knowledge Generator" in collaboration with several companies including a major insurance company, and checking accuracy in anticipation of actual application. "Knowledge Generator" automates the knowledge and content development and creation processes that were previously done manually by humans, saving an enormous amount of time and money.

      In "Co-Creation" initiatives, we agreed to form a capital and business alliance with Hedgehog MedTech, Inc. (Hedgehog MedTech), and transferred our "Zutool" division and our "Otenki.com" division, which operates a weather forecast site, to Hedgehog MedTech by way of an absorption type split. We acquired shares in Hedgehog MedTech as part of the consideration for the sale. Developed in 2013, "Zutool" has seen growth in users due to its unique focus on headaches and other physical ailments triggered by changes in atmospheric pressure. It has grown into a mobile app with more than

      2.2 million downloads. Until now, "Zutool" has supported users in deploying easy, independent health care strategies in day-to-day life. It, therefore, lacked a framework for helping users that need specialist diagnosis or treatment get access to the appropriate medical support. Hedgehog MedTech is a medical startup that develops treatment apps, diagnostic devices and other programs and medical devices and has a presence in the medical domain. BELLSYSTEM24 Group and Hedgehog MedTech formed the capital and business alliance in order to combine their assets with the aim of becoming Japan's first comprehensive platform for headaches offering tools for predicting, recording, diagnosing and treating headaches.

      In collaboration with ITOCHU Corporation, we also launched "Co-MR," an information provision support service for the aggregation of data about the MR (medical representative) activities of pharmaceutical companies at contact centers. With points of contact between MRs and doctors decreasing due to restrictions on visits to medical institutions and doctor work style reforms, this service leverages the ITOCHU Group's strategy partnering experience and partner alliances in the medical domain and our qualified personnel and other experts in the medical domain and our contact center knowhow to provide end-to-end support for information provision activities. This will lead to reduction in MR manhours and expansion of prescriptions through more efficient provision of information about the proper use of pharmaceuticals and through the provision of information to medical professionals in areas that are difficult to visit and the acquisition of appointments with them.

      In "Human Resources" initiatives, in the PRIDE Index 2025, an index that evaluates workplace initiatives related to LGBTQ+ (LGBTQ and other sexual minorities), we received the highest Gold rating, which indicates satisfaction of all certification criteria, for a seventh consecutive year. We consider "Human Resources" to be management resources of the utmost importance. We place diversity at the center of our management policies and have defined "diversity of our human resources and their work styles" as a material issue for us in our materiality assessment. This fiscal year, in an initiative aimed at promoting dialogue opportunities and understanding within the company, we held roundtable discussions between young employees and allies (*) and opinion exchange sessions between executives and LGBTQ+ individuals and allies in an attempt to raise awareness across the organization. Additionally, we included a program promoting understanding for LGBTQ+ issues in new employee training and also rolled out a new "D&I Training/LGBTQ+" e-learning module for all employees. Through this, we instilled knowledge about LGBTQ+ and SOGI (*2), including the nature of support we offer as a company, preventing harassment in the workplace, and points to remember when hiring. Going forward, we will continue working to foster an organizational climate that encourages respect for diverse values.

      Additionally, our group company True Touch Co., Ltd. ("True Touch") won awards in all nine categories it entered in the TCCTA Contact Center Awards 2025 held by Thai Contact Center Trade Association (TCCTA), including a Bronze Medal in the Organizational Category and Excellence Awards in four Individual Categories including The Best Contact Center Supervisor Professional and The Best Contact Center IT Support Professional. TCCTA is an organization established in 2014 by the Thai Ministry of Commerce for the purpose of promoting improvement in the quality of contact center services and developing contact center services. The TCCTA Contact Center Awards held by TCCTA every year recognize contact centers that provide outstanding services in Thailand, and True Touch was a winner in the latest awards in recognition of its outstanding expertise and excellent customer service. Going forward, True Touch will keep striving for high quality and reliability in its contact center operations and providing services that continue to meet customer expectations while at the same time strengthening sustainable partnerships with client companies and industry players.

      (*1) Allies: People who actively support and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community (*2) SOGI: Acronym for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

      Results for each business segment are as follows. (CRM Business)

      The CRM business posted revenue of 109,217 million yen (up 1.5% year on year) and income before income taxes of 8,506 million yen (up 21.0%) due to successful revenue improvement measures.

      (Others)

      The revenue of the Others segment amounted to 243 million yen (down 23.5% year on year) due to decline in income from the sale of content. However, income before income taxes was 688 million yen (up 535.2%) due to the partial sale of the content business by way of an absorption-type split.

      As a result of the above, financial results for the nine months ended November 30, 2025 were revenue of 109,460 million yen (up 1.4% year on year), operating income of 9,436 million yen (up 28.1%), income before income taxes of 9,194 million yen (up 28.7%), and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 6,118 million yen (up 30.7%).

        Current liabilities decreased by 9,645 million yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 47,768 million yen, mainly due to a 12,599 million yen decline in borrowings despite a 2,399 million yen increase in liabilities for employee benefits and 1,434 million yen increase in other current liabilities.

        Non-current liabilities increased by 4,446 million yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 50,609 million yen, driven primarily by a 8,940 million yen increase in long-term borrowings offsetting a 4,379 million yen decrease in other long-term financial liabilities.

  5. Notes to condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements

(Notes on going concern assumption) Not applicable.

(Changes in accounting estimates)

(Changes in useful lives and lease terms of property, plant and equipment)

During the six months ended August 31, 2025 and three months ended November 30, 2025, the Company decided to terminate the leases of some leased offices. As a result, the Company changed its estimates of the useful lives of buildings and structures (property, plant and equipment) and the lease terms of right-of-use assets (property, plant and equipment). As a result of these changes in estimates, property, plant and equipment decreased by 1,849 million yen and other long-term financial liabilities decreased by 1,872 million yen. Operating income and income before income taxes each declined by 102 million yen in the nine months ended November 30, 2025.

(Segment information)

The Group's reportable segments are components of the Group for which separate financial information is available and which are subject to periodic review by the Board of Directors to determine the allocation of management resources and evaluate their performance. The Group's business segments consist of the CRM business segment and the Others business segment, and business segmentation is based on comprehensive consideration of service type and characteristics, markets and other factors.

The Group is primarily involved in the CRM business, which deals with the operation of contact centers and other operations incidental thereto.

This business accounts for the majority of the absolute amounts of the Group's reported revenue and net profit or loss and the amount of its reported assets. Accordingly, the Group's only reportable segment is the CRM business.

Internal transfers between segments are generally based on market prices.
