Reason for the revision：
Regarding the consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending October 2025, we expect sales and profits in our core Beauty ICT business and Business services business to be roughly in line with our initial plan.
Meanwhile, in the Nursing care services business, we provide terminal care (end-of-life care) at nursing facilities, but since May 2025, we have seen a series of deaths of elderly residents due to senility or the worsening of chronic illnesses.
The number of residents entering nursing care facilities was higher than in previous years due to facility management that is rooted in the local community, but the number of people leaving (passing away) exceeded the number of residents.
As a result, the decline in facility utilization rates has had a significant impact on business profit and loss, with segment sales expected to decrease by approximately 66 million yen (a decrease of 8.4% compared to the initial plan) and segment profit expected to decrease by approximately 33 million yen (a decrease of 58.9% compared to the initial plan).
In light of the above, we have decided to revise our consolidated full-year earnings forecasts due to discrepancies in operating income, ordinary income, from our initial forecasts.
🔳 Revision of year-end dividend forecast.
There will be no revision to the year-end dividend forecast due to this revision of the earnings forecast.
