      1. Medical Platform

        Segment revenue amounted to 107,830 million yen, up 17.8% year on year, with segment profit of 35,918 million yen, up 5.3% year on year. This is attributable to the diminishing impact of decline in COVID-related projects, a solid momentum in the pharmaceutical marketing support business and the digitalization support business for medical practices, and the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of EWEL,Inc. in April 2025, despite the recognition of an impairment loss in the support business for medical institutions.

      2. Evidence Solution

        Segment revenue amounted to 24,521 million yen, up 1.1% year on year, with segment profit of 5,120 million yen, up 17.8% year on year. This is attributable to the diminishing impact of decline in COVID-related clinical trial projects and the increase in revenue and profitability led by relatively high-margin projects.

      3. Career Solution

        Segment revenue amounted to 22,799 million yen, up 9.0% year on year, with segment profit of 5,925 million yen, up 4.8% year on year. This is mainly attributable to a steady revenue growth in job search and placement support services for physicians and pharmacists.

      4. Site Solution

        Segment revenue amounted to 54,353 million yen, up 15.5% year on year. This is attributable to the steady growth in the hospice and in-home nursing business and the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of Noah Konzer Co.,Ltd in October 2024. Segment profit amounted to 5,766 million yen, up 6.3% year on year. This is mainly attributable to the gain on sale of real estate totaling 1,441 million yen, despite the proactive upfront investments made by Noah Konzer Co.,Ltd and the reduced profitability in the first half affected by weak performance of some clients in the medical institution business.

      5. Patient Solution

        In connection with our tender offer and consolidation of ELAN Corporation completed in October 2024, this segment has been newly established in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. Segment revenue amounted to 56,877 million yen, up 159.5% year on year, with segment profit of 2,686 million yen, up 226.0% year on year. This is mainly attributable to the impact of the consolidation and the growing user base driven by new contracts for CS Set.

      6. Overseas

        Segment revenue amounted to 86,921 million yen, up 7.9% year on year. This is attributable to the solid performance in Europe and APAC regions driven by organic growth and acquisitions, despite the negative impact on vaccine-related projects in the U.S. clinical trial business due to a shift in government policy. Segment profit amounted to 14,898 million yen, up 1.0% year on year due to the additional impairment losses recognized in the U.S. clinical trial business and U.K. physician career business, where impairment losses had been recorded in prior years, despite the positive impact of the improvement in revenue mix and the absence of the impairment loss recognized in the previous fiscal year.

      7. Other Emerging Businesses

Segment revenue amounted to 2,230 million yen, down 9.1% year on year, and segment profit was 4,878 million yen, up 386.5% year on year. The increase in segment profit is attributable to the gain on sale of associate shares totaling 4,101 million yen.

Combining all of the above, revenue of the M3 Group for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 amounted to 351,363 million yen, up 23.3% year on year, with operating profit of 73,547 million yen, up 16.8% year on year, profit before tax of 76,276 million yen, up 17.7% year on year, and profit of 54,046 million yen, up 21.9% year on year.
