1. Promotion Support Business (Accel Japan): Full-year FY2025/9 revenue reached 2 billion yen, segment profit reached 900 million yen, with 38.3% year-over-year profit growth. The 4Q segment profit margin hit an all-time high of 50.5%, and total cumulative contracts exceeded 1,000 units. This segment is the company's fastest growing and core profit driver. 2. Media Business: Full-year FY2025/9 revenue grew 9.8% year-over-year, and achieved profit growth driven by a strong recovery in government partnership advertising revenue in 4Q. Private sector advertising from hotels and restaurants performed steadily. 3. Solution Business: Full-year revenue declined year-over-year due to the natural fluctuation of one-off spot revenue (such as 3D hologram production and system development projects). Stable EC support revenue remains the core revenue base of this segment, fluctuating within 10% year-over-year.

• Accel Japan's new customer acquisition relies heavily on web advertising for inbound leads, so the company is exposed to rising web advertising costs; the business has adjusted ad spend scheduling to avoid high-cost periods, but sustained cost inflation could pressure customer acquisition margins
• Quarterly revenue volatility for Accel Japan from ad spend scheduling, and for Solution Business from uneven one-off spot revenue, could create quarterly earnings fluctuations
• TikTok Shop is a newly launched market in Japan, so client adoption growth and market size expansion are unproven, and future growth may not meet management expectations
• As a new service offering, there is operational risk related to scaling the influencer partnership and service delivery infrastructure for TikTok Shop support
