FY03/24 Overseas Segment (Full-year*1)

  • Medical Platform Business grew steadily. While the lead time for sales recognition was prolonged due to the recovery in the use of non-digital services such as on-site events, projects on order have been delivered steadily since Q3.
  • Global Career Business grew significantly driven by the increasing HCP*2 introductions in the countries where we have already operated, as well as the contribution of CWC/CF (Germany), which we acquired in December 2022.

FY03/25 Consolidated Financial Guidance

  • Expect double-digit growth in both sales and profits.
  • Plan to invest actively in hiring, strengthening service brands, and developing new businesses to achieve sustainable high growth in light of the strong market due to population aging.
  • Major investments will be made mainly in Q1, with growth coming in Q2 onwards. Consequently, profits in Q1 will decrease YoY, and both sales and profits are expected to grow from Q2.
