In fiscal year 2025, the second year of our medium-term management plan "RISE TO GROWTH 2026," we achieved record-high sales and operating profit, and our ROE improved to 17.7%. As a result, we were able to achieve many of the key indicators set forth in this plan almost a year ahead of schedule.

In our core Workplace Business, the need for improving the work environment with a focus on human capital investment has spread from major metropolitan areas to local companies and factories, leading to a steady increase in demand for renovations. Furthermore, in the "Office 3.0" domain, which we position as the next engine of growth for Itoki and which realizes optimal work styles and office spaces through the use of data, we have strengthened our efforts toward establishing a recurring revenue business by providing new solutions and advancing development with a view to further utilizing AI.

In fiscal year 2026, the final year of our medium-term management plan, we anticipate that demand for office investment will remain robust, driven by the increasing adoption of human capital management and the need to secure talent and improve productivity. Under these business conditions, we will continue to deepen our initiatives based on our key strategy "7 Flags," further strengthening high value-added proposals in Workplace Business business and expanding our products and services, primarily for research and logistics facilities, in Equipment & Public Works-Related Business.

We will continue to strive to enhance corporate value and improve shareholder returns, and we would greatly appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
