Thank you for joining us today. I'm Terada, CEO. Today, I'd like to explain. First, look at page 4. This is the highlight of the second quarter of May, 2024. First, sales rose 33.0% from the previous year, and the growth rate increased from the previous quarter. In addition, after adjustment, sales profits increased by 704.2% along with the growth of sales value. Second, sales value of Sales DX Service 33 has increased significantly as a result of strengthening the business system. Third, sales value of Invoice Carly Service Bill 1 has increased by about 2.9 times in the previous year. MRR is the highest net increase in the market in the past. Based on this high growth, we have corrected the ARR target at the end of May 2024. From here, I will explain the results of the second quarter, which is three months. Please see the page. The sales volume has increased by 34.6% from the first quarter. Among them, the organic growth rate, except for the new cooling part due to M&A, has increased by 31.3%. In addition, the total sales revenue has decreased by 2.2 points in the previous year, but it is mainly due to the increased cost of building 1, which is still relatively low in revenue. The operating profit after adjustment has increased 29.6% in the previous year due to the rise in sales. In the second half of the year, in addition to the rise in sales, the price of sales advertising has decreased by about 8 times in the previous year due to the decrease in sales. The operating profit has increased by 166.3% due to the loss of the impact of the investment fund in the previous year when the operating profit was not formed in the previous year. Next, I would like to explain the cause of the increase in operating profit after adjustment. Please see page 6. As a result of strengthening marketing and human resources use, the advertising advertising cost increased by 298 million yen in the same period last year, and the human resources cost increased by 699 million yen, but due to the rise in sales, the operating profit after adjustment increased by 86 million yen in the same period last year. In addition, I would like to explain the operating profit after adjustment. This is a return on the operating profit of various expenses that occur due to corporate return-related expenses and corporate bonds. On the other hand, the operating profit has decreased as the operating profit has increased, but this is mainly due to the increase in corporate return-related expenses in the second half of the year of 69 million yen.

The minuses after the adjustment of the profits have increased, but this is mainly due to the increase in the number of employees in the human resources department, branding department, and corporate department, as well as in the growth strategy. In addition, the adjustment amount is posted on page 27 of the supplementary document. Please see page 8. I will explain the achievements of each segment. First of all, it is about the achievements of the 33 Building 1 business. The sales value was increased by 34.2% in the previous year in the background of the strong growth of 33 and the high growth of Building 1. In addition, the net profit of the adjustment business has decreased by 4.6 points due to the strengthening of the marketing investment of 33, but the net profit of the adjustment business has increased by 15.2% due to the growth of the sales value. The sales value of 33 has increased by 15.4% in the previous year. In addition, the sales value of Bill 1 has increased by about 2.9 times in the previous year. The other sales volume has grown significantly, mainly due to the corporate business of Creative Survey, which was established in March 2023.

In addition, the total number of contracts at the end of the second quarter was 167, which increased significantly compared to the 98 at the end of the first quarter. This is because there was a negative effect on the first quarter due to some of the subordination of the option plan, etc. Therefore, the total number of contracts at the end of the second quarter, which was not affected by it, was a significant achievement.
