We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our shareholders and investors for their continued support.
Under our Medium-Term Management Plan through 2028, we have set forth the goal of "building an even stronger foundation for future growth" and are actively engaged in pursuing strategic upfront investments. Internally, we promote a management policy we call "SNS Management"—an acronym for Solution, Network, and Synergy. Under this policy, we will maximize synergies across the Group, strengthen our own network of locations, and provide solutions that help address our customers' challenges.

In terms of our business portfolio, we rank second in the industry as a trading company engaged in construction machinery sales, and sixth or seventh in the rental business in terms of scale. Few companies operate both sales and rental businesses on this scale, and this unique hybrid model gives us a competitive advantage in negotiating with suppliers and making proposals to rental companies. In addition, through M&As, we have brought technologically advanced companies such as WAKITA CSS Co., Ltd. and TAIYU Co., Ltd. into the Group, enabling us to deliver high-value-added services in areas such as ICT solutions and temporary construction equipment. In the wholesale rental business for nursing care products, the addition of Care'x has made us the third-largest player in the industry steadily expanding our growth base.

With regard to shareholder returns, we paid a dividend of JPY 100 per share in May 2025 and have announced that we will maintain this level for the next three years through May 2028. Until now, we have focused on building a solid financial base and strengthening shareholders' equity. Going forward, we will pursue both growth investments and shareholder returns. We will continue to communicate our value creation story through proactive IR activities.

A key pillar of our growth strategy is strengthening construction DX and ICT solutions. Under i-Construction 2.0 promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, demand for 3D surveying and ICT-based construction is steadily increasing. Through collaboration with WAKITA CSS Co., Ltd., we have established a one-stop support system from surveying and construction to inspection. We will also leverage TAIYU's remote operation and autonomous driving technologies to roll out labor-saving and efficiency-enhancing solutions for construction sites nationwide. In the nursing care field as well, we support improvements in productivity by promoting nursing care DX and contribute to addressing the structural challenges of labor shortages.

Going forward, while continuing to explore M&As and partnerships with technology-oriented companies, we will accelerate the transformation of our business model from "product sales" to "providing solutions." As we work toward achieving our Medium-Term Management Plan for 2028, we are committed to doing our utmost to sustainably enhance corporate value while maintaining a balance between investments and returns.
We respectfully ask for the continued support and encouragement of our shareholders and investors.
