We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued support.

Thanks to your ongoing support, our company was able to celebrate its 40th anniversary in July of last year. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey.

Over the past 40 years, both society and industrial structures have undergone significant change. With the advancement of digitalization, an aging population, and shifts in the labor market, it has become increasingly difficult to deliver sustainable value through conventional approaches alone. In light of these changes, we believe it is essential for our organization to remain resilient and adaptable by continuously evolving our shape to respond to a changing environment.

Based on this premise, we are advancing two key initiatives for our future business.
First, in our staffing business, we will continue to provide our clients with the value of “job support,” while enhancing both profitability and sustainability by shifting certain operations to a platform-based model. By leveraging our proprietary platform, “doconico,” we will improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and reinvest those savings to provide fair and competitive compensation to our temporary staff. By combining platform capabilities with high-touch human support, we aim to create a new model of value delivery that goes beyond traditional approaches.
In addition, we will expand into new markets and strengthen our presence within the human resources market through “doco1,” a centralized staffing management platform launched last year. Adoption among new clients has been steadily increasing, contributing to the development of new market segments. This service is operated by DOCO1 Co., Ltd. using a platform developed by NEZOT Co., Ltd., both of which are our group companies.
In an increasingly competitive staffing industry, we will leverage the resources generated through platform-driven efficiency gains to provide higher compensation to temporary staff, thereby securing talent. At the same time, we will differentiate ourselves by delivering our core strength—comprehensive “job support” following placement—thereby earning the continued trust of both clients and staff. In this way, by continuing to provide services within the staffing industry, we aim to ultimately move beyond the current intense competitive environment and build a business model that enables us to once again achieve high profit margins.

Another key initiative is the creation of a new business domain. To date, we have developed proprietary platforms within our human resources services business and used them to operate our business. Building on this expertise, we will establish platform businesses as a new domain for growth.

Having developed platforms such as “doconico” and “doco1” in-house, the driving force behind the creation of new business domains lies in our ability to plan and develop systems internally. We are able to manage the entire process within our group, from identifying challenges and designing solutions within a given business, to platform planning, requirements definition, basic and detailed design, programming development, unit testing, integrated testing, and operations.

Leveraging this strength, we will expand our platform business as a new area of growth. While we are not yet in a position to disclose details, we are currently developing platforms aimed at addressing challenges not only in temporary staffing, but across the broader labor market and commercial transactions. Once launched, we plan to establish and operate new businesses in these emerging domains.

Furthermore, we have established a new dividend policy to enhance shareholder returns.
Previously, our dividend payout ratio was set at approximately 40%, in line with the industry average, with a policy of increasing dividends in line with profit growth. However, this level was relatively low within the staffing industry, and we did not fully meet shareholder expectations.
Accordingly, we have set a target payout ratio of 65%. Given our strong financial position, we will balance business investment with shareholder returns.

Over the long term, we continue to pursue our goal of becoming a 100 billion yen company. Rather than focusing on short-term performance over the next one to two years, we will achieve growth in new businesses within emerging domains and increase dividends in line with profit growth.

Based on this perspective, we will continue to provide "stable, high-quality services" in our staffing business, while enhancing both operational efficiency through platform-based initiatives and the sophistication of our “job support” capabilities. At the same time, we will promote the diversification of our revenue base by establishing "platform operations" as a core pillar of new business domains. Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance customer satisfaction, achieve sustainable improvements in profit margins, and increase corporate value.

We would greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support.
