Financial highlights

We place primary importance on the sustainable growth of profit. While revenue growth is also essential, it is not our ultimate goal.

We focus on the operating profit margin as our primary profitability metric, targeting a benchmark of 10%. We aim to improve our gross profit margin by providing high value-added services and lower our SG & A expense ratio through efficient operations. The resources generated through the efforts are reinvested in human capital and system infrastructure, essential for continued growth.
Rather than focusing solely on profitability or growth, we aim to consistently achieve both of an operating profit margin of 10% and a net sales growth rate of over 10%.

Depending on the growth phase, we prioritize sales growth at the expense of profitability or accept slower growth to maintain margins. However, by flexibly adjusting our strategies in line with each growth phase, we will strive to balance profitability and growth while maximizing our corporate value.

We are committed to sustainably maintaining and improving ROE and ROIC through profit growth.
At present, both indicators are showing a downward trend, as we have prioritized raising temporary staff's compensation ahead of client billing rates with the aim of securing job seekers. However, we aim to improve these indicators going forward and to maximize the spread over our weighted average cost of capital (WACC), thereby ensuring returns that exceed our capital cost.

We do not intend to improve these indicators by reducing net assets, as we believe such an approach does not contribute to genuine corporate value.
