Dear shareholders,

We would like to express our appreciation for your continued support and understanding. We hereby inform you that our 35th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be held as described below.

The fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (FY 2022) marked the beginning of our fourth Medium-Term Management Plan (FY 2022-FY 2024). Aligning with customers, we have promoted digital transformation (DX) and sharpened our competitive edge.

In the first year of the plan, we strove to establish a solid foundation for significant future growth and improve profitability in each area of our business. The Telecommunication area shifted to higher value-added projects and increased efficiency, which led to a greater profit margin. The Enterprise area saw an increase in cloud building projects while our security services progressed steadily. In the Public Sector area, the solutions we developed and built in the previous fiscal year entered the operation phase, and we focused on streamlining operations.

As a result, we achieved record-high numbers in net sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit, increasing operating profit margin. This marked a good start for us to enter the second year of the fourth Medium-Term Management Plan.

I appreciate your continued understanding and support.

Shinichi Ata

President & CEO
