In the 75th fiscal year (FY2024), the first year of the medium-term management plan "RISE TO GROWTH 2026," we saw a rise in the need to improve the workplace environment with an awareness of human capital management that emphasizes investment in people, such as improving employee satisfaction and acquiring talent, not only in the metropolitan area but also in regional cities, and we made steady progress, mainly in renovation and relocation projects. We also focused on launching new services in the "Office 3.0" field, which uses data to provide optimal working styles and office spaces by utilizing IoT and spatial sensing in office furniture. As a result, we achieved sales of 138.4 billion yen and operating profit of 10 billion yen in FY2024, breaking our previous record.

In addition, based on the idea that improving employee engagement will lead to corporate growth in the medium to long term, we have set employee engagement score (pride in the company) as one of our key management indicators and conduct an ES survey of employees every year. The results for fiscal 2024 increased 7.8 points from last year to a record high of 82.5%.

In fiscal 2025, the second year of our medium-term management plan "RISE TO GROWTH 2026," we will focus on the four areas of "Digital, Design, Group, and Compliance" as our priority issues, and the Itoki Group will work together to work toward achieving our business results.

We will continue to strive to improve our enterprise value and enhance shareholder returns, so we appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
