In addition to license revenue of ¥3,407 million (up 15.2% year on year), Professional Services revenue expanded sharply to ¥1,024 million (up 71.3% year on year), driven by steady accumulation of implementation project orders.

The multi-product strategy also progressed, including strengthened partner alliances through the start of collaboration with Abeam Consulting and the release of "TeamSpirit Labor Management" in February 2026. The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged (net sales of ¥5,700 million and operating profit of ¥430 million), with investment in functional development expected in the fourth quarter in response to enhanced Salesforce security requirements.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Continued growth in ARR and number of licenses driven by expansion of new and additional orders from enterprise companies (1,000 or more employees)
• Ongoing rise in demand for advanced attendance and work-hour management amid the entrenchment of full-remote and hybrid work styles
• Increased attention to SaaS-based attendance systems driven by progress in discussions around the largest revision to the Labor Standards Act in roughly 40 years
• Expanded cross-selling to existing customers through multi-product deployment of Synclog, Talent Management, Pulse Survey, Labor Management, and other offerings
• Expanded sales channels into the enterprise market through strengthened partner alliances, including with Abeam Consulting and others
• Improved management efficiency and profitability achieved simultaneously through review of cost-ineffective initiatives and reduction of fixed costs
• Growing demand for employee engagement and activity data visualization amid rising interest in human capital management

Risks

• Intensifying competition: numerous SaaS providers have entered the mid-market and small-business segments, creating a risk of slowing growth rates
• Dependence on the Salesforce Platform: changes to platform specifications such as enhanced security, price revisions, or changes to OEM contract terms could affect the business (response costs are expected to arise in the fourth quarter)
• Risk of rising churn rate: due to the nature of the subscription model, an increase in the churn rate directly affects revenue
• Talent acquisition and development: rising personnel costs and recruitment difficulties amid intensifying competition to hire skilled engineers and consultants
• Regulatory compliance costs: increasing system response costs due to more frequent revisions to laws such as the Labor Standards Act
• Rising financial leverage: long-term borrowings of ¥460 million (fixed liabilities) and current portion of long-term borrowings due within one year of ¥130 million were recorded, causing the equity ratio to decline from 36.1% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 26.1%
• Decrease in net assets: net assets decreased from ¥1,623 million at the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,336 million due to the acquisition of treasury shares (approximately ¥600 million)
