1. Outline of Operating ResultsInitiatives in the fiscal year under review
The fiscal year under review is the first year of the 2026 Medium-Term Management Plan, and the Group has been promoting its businesses with a focus on the three pillars of action, namely standardizing the information system for local governments, developing next-generation solutions, and enhancing business foundations.
"Standardization of Local Government Information Systems"In the public sector, which is our core business, we are promoting the standardization of local government information systems (local government system standardization). However, as a result of various quality tests, an event occurred that did not meet our standards, so we are taking quality measures. As a result, we are reviewing the work schedule for the transition to standardization, and although the start of operation will be delayed for some municipalities, we will ensure that we provide a safe and secure system so as not to affect resident services.
"Development of next-generation solutions"The Group is developing a system, which will be the next generation of the WebRings administration system for local governments under the concept of being connected. In addition, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc., we have conducted demonstration experiments of on-demand transportation aimed at improving the convenience of transportation for the elderly in rural areas, and have been working to implement solutions that solve the problems of local communities using the Regional Co-Creation Portal.
"Enhancement of business foundations"In terms of expanding our business base, we have demonstrated the effects of our partnership promotion and have implemented initiatives to expand the number of customers and strengthen our customer base by utilizing alliance partners. In addition, we have promoted the sophistication of our in-house IT infrastructure, developed an internal infrastructure that reduces security risks, and built a development environment that achieves high quality and a short period of time using generative AI.
In April 2025, we revised our personnel system to focus on evaluating the expertise of engineers in order to develop and promote human resources at an early stage, which is an asset of our company. In addition to making specialists a pillar of human resource development, we will promote our business strategy by appointing and utilizing external human resources and promote the utilization of senior human resources.
In April 2024, we moved our head office to Nihonbashi-Kakigaracho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. We will consolidate the functions of the INES Group's headquarters to expedite decision-making in group management, and aim to strengthen our management base and enhance corporate value by embodying the vision of the Medium-Term Management Plan, "a company that continues to challenge and evolve."
(1) Outline of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2025
Consolidated net sales for the fiscal year under review was ¥40,563 million, roughly the same level as the previous fiscal year. Consolidated net sales on a sector-by-sector basis are as shown in the table below. Net sales in the Public sector stood at ¥19,873 million (up 7.4% year on year), mainly reflecting higher sales due to the introduction of the standardization system, more than offsetting lower sales due to the partial withdrawal of the outsourcing business in the Group company. Net sales in the Private sector declined 6.2% year on year, to ¥20,689 million, mainly reflecting a decrease in orders for projects for the development and operation of systems for the insurance industry and lower sales from system development projects for the retailing industry.
By product and service, system development increased due to the introduction of standardization systems, operations decreased due to a decrease in large-scale BPO projects, and others decreased due to the partial withdrawal of outsourcing businesses at Group companies.
On the profit front, operating profit increased 22.9% year on year, to ¥3,536 million, ordinary profit climbed 32.0% year on year, to ¥3,608 million, profit attributable to owners of parent risen 35.7% year
