Profit2. Reason for the revision
The Company sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience and concern caused to its shareholders, investors and otherstakeholders by the downward revision of the full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.
During the current fiscal year, the recruitment environment has changed more than initially anticipated, with the ratioof job openings to job seekers continuing to trend lower amid signs of a pause in recruitment demand after companies
offering jobs amid the surging recruitment demand seen during the post-pandemic rebound of the previous fiscal yearfilled their job openings.
Under such conditions, the Company has seen noticeable deterioration in the business results of the Personnel
Placement Business in particular, and the business results of the Personnel Placement Business for the current fiscal
year are expected to be well below the initial forecast both in terms of net sales and ordinary profit. This deterioration
is mainly attributable to external factors, specifically stricter hiring standards at companies still offering jobs, reflecting
higher average cost per hire compared to other businesses, and decline in the informal job offer rate, as well as to internalfactors, namely a sales structure that was slow to tap into job openings at new customers, despite increased acquisitionof registrants and increased interviews with those looking to change jobs, and a low matching rate of those looking tochange jobs with job openings as a result.
Meanwhile, in the Media Information Business, the Company will continue pursuing a higher average transaction
value and curbing advertising expenses on the cost front and anticipates that both net sales and ordinary profit will
increase as a result and, despite such a recruitment environment, the Company expects to successfully achieve growth.
In the IT Worker Dispatch Business, the number of active workers among dispatched staff began increasing thanks toefforts aimed at tapping into job openings from new customers and making more proposals regarding dispatched staff
job openings and, in the fourth quarter, the Company expects that both net sales and ordinary profit will surpass levelsin the same period a year earlier. Meanwhile, the New Graduate Business is also performing solidly; nonetheless, thedeterioration in the business performance of the Personnel Placement Business will not be fully offset, prompting theCompany to downwardly revise its initial forecast.

This fiscal year, the Company has faced changes in the recruitment environment it did not initially envisage; however,with recruitment demand expected to gradually emerge from the pause that followed the spike during the post-COVID
rebound phase, the Company is determined to work to improve its business results by stepping up measures to increase
net sales in each business going forward.
(Note) The forecast above are compiled based on information available as of the announcement of this material.
Actual results may differ from the forecasts due to various factors going forward.
