Recent Overview
Achieved higher sales and profit driven by increased inquiries in IT, healthcare, and crisis management engagements, and the acquisition of large-scale spot projects.
In the cumulative third quarter of FY2026 (ending August 2026) (September 2025 to May 2026), the segment achieved increased sales and profit, with sales to external customers of ¥3,648 million (up 7.8% year on year) and segment profit of ¥487 million (up 16.3% year on year).
