The primary driver is a goodwill write-off of JPY 243M (consolidated) and JPY 79M (individual) related to AFCP, a subsidiary fully acquired in August 2025. Additionally, the web solutions segment saw revenue shortfalls as resources were redirected to resolve unprofitable legacy projects, suppressing new project acquisition. Deferred tax asset liquidation further increased tax costs.
The consolidated operating profit turning negative on JPY 9.96bn of revenue reflects the combination of the one-time write-off and structural softness in the web solutions and digital staffing segments. Recovery trajectory into FY2027 will depend on the pace of business model restructuring.
