Recent Overview
HR tech, IT education, and RPO businesses drove substantial growth in both revenue and profit
In the human resources service business for Q1 FY2027 (ending March 2027) (March to May 2026), revenue was ¥1,201 million (up 9.1% year on year) and segment profit was ¥315 million (up 29.4% year on year), achieving a substantial increase in both revenue and profit. The main drivers were sales expansion and optional product sales for 'Wagasha de DOMO', order volume exceeding the usual level for new employee programming training in the IT education business, and sales expansion of the RPO business in the Greater Tokyo area along with the start of expansion into other regions. The segment profit margin improved substantially to 26.2% from 22.1% in the same quarter of the prior year. Meanwhile, the job magazine 'DOMO' continued its declining trend, down 1.9% year on year.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
