Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Widening supply-demand gap for IT talent (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry forecasts a shortage of up to approximately 790,000 by 2030)
- Sales growth driven by continued increases in the number of active engineers (net sales = number of active engineers × unit price)
- Established system for hiring over 300 full-time engineers annually
- Robust demand, with orders received up 148.1% year-on-year and order backlog up 139.9% year-on-year
- Track record of approximately 68% net sales CAGR since business inception in 2020 through the previous fiscal year
Risks
- Risk of rising recruitment costs and shortfalls in hiring due to intensifying competition for engineers
- Decline in active engineer headcount due to rising turnover
- Compliance risk under the Worker Dispatching Act in the SES business (boundary between quasi-delegation contracts and staffing dispatch)
- Continued losses in the nursing care and welfare staffing service business (segment loss of ¥153 million in the current period)
- Risk of unit price declines due to fluctuations in supply and demand in the IT talent market
