Overview of financial results for Q1 FY2025
Increase in sales and profit.
We have announced the financial results for the for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2025 on February 12th.
Net sales and operating income increased year-on-year, mainly due to sales growth in the healthcare business, school DX business, and corporate DX support business.
In the healthcare business, net sales increased due to strong growth in the number of pharmacies adopting the cloud-based medication history system. On the ohther hand, operating income declined due to the development of new solutions for dispensing pharmacies.
In the School DX business, sales and profits increased due to initial installation sales for public schools. New contracts for private schools for introduction in April 2025 are steadily accumulating.

Image of medium to long-term profit
Regarding the future earnings picture, we expect the school DX business to contribute to profits most quickly in the short term.
In the mid to long-term, we believe the healthcare business will play a leading role. First, we will drive further sales and profit growth through the cloud-based medication history system and the childcare DX initiative. Then, by expanding the recurring revenue from each business, we aim to achieve “sustainable growth” across the entire group.
