3. Reason for the Revision

In the "Japan and Korea Business Segment" and "Overseas (ex-Korea) Business Segment", demand for our services from the clients are exceeding our initial expectations mainly in Online research, our main business. Thus, the FY6/2022 Revenue will overachieve the Initial Guidance, which the Company announced at the beginning of the fiscal year. Due to the increase in Revenue, EBITDA, Operating Profit, Profit before Tax, Profit for the year, and Profit attributable to owners of the parent will overachieve the Initial Guidance.

Regarding dividends, achieving a distribution of surpluses through stable and continuous dividend increases is our basic policy. Based on the upward revision of the FY6/2022 full-year annual guidance mentioned above, the Company has revised its year-end dividend forecast to 9 JPY, which is 1 JPY up from the initial estimate. Combining with the mid-term dividend payout, the total dividend per share will be revised to 17 JPY.

(Note)

  1. The Company assumes 1 EUR = 133.02 JPY and 1KRW = 0.0987 JPY for the revised forecast.
  2. The Company prepared the forecast of consolidated financial results based on information accessible as of the date of its announcement. A variety of future factors may cause actual financial results to differ from its forecasts.
