| Item | Before | After | Change | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 22.5bn | JPY 23.3bn | JPY 0.8bn | 3.4% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 1.7bn | JPY 3.0bn | JPY 1.3bn | 78.5% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 1.7bn | JPY 3.0bn | JPY 1.3bn | 78.6% |
| Net Profit | JPY 1.2bn | JPY 2.0bn | JPY 0.8bn | 69.8% |

The company attributed the revision to higher-than-expected demand in manufacturing staffing, particularly in food processing, housing equipment, and semiconductor-related sectors, alongside expanded dispatch orders from existing clients in administrative services. Pricing adjustments on dispatch assignments and cost reductions from lower-than-anticipated municipal contract fulfillment in the first half also contributed. Efficiency improvements from digital transformation initiatives and streamlined recruitment spending further boosted gross margins.
The substantial profit uplift—nearly 79% growth against modest 3.4% revenue growth—reflects operational leverage from pricing power and cost discipline. However, the company maintained its full-year guidance unchanged, signaling plans to offset first-half gains through increased IT investments and expanded specialist hiring in the second half. International investors should note that ordinary income (keijo rieki) in Japan includes non-operating financial items and may differ materially from operating profit.
