Regarding the accounting method for reportable business segments, we had previously adopted a method of reflecting certain adjustments under Japanese GAAP. After re-examining segment information to be reviewed regularly, the Group decided to align the accounting method with the accounting policies of the Group from the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Accordingly, reportable segment information for the previous corresponding quarter has been restated.

3Q FY3/22 Financial Highlights

Double-digit revenue backed by the Overseas WORK Business as the demand for people to perform a variety of jobs remained strong. Operating profit increased due to the growth in gross profit caused by higher permanent placement sales despite the contribution to earnings one year earlier of a one-time profit of about ¥900 million. Up-front investments of about ¥800 million in strategic investment domains (construction management, care support, startup company HR support) for the Perm SHIFT held down earnings somewhat.
