The Company Group believes that maximization of the value provided to customers - namely, maximization of the Company Group's sales revenue - leads to maximization of long-term free cash flow and consequently to improvement in corporate value. Accordingly, the Company Group positions sales revenue as an important management indicator and works on each management issue. Additionally, the Company Group also places significant importance on EBITDA, a profit indicator close to long-term free cash flow. In the process of maximizing long-term free cash flow, the Company Group announced new medium-term targets of 100 billion yen in sales revenue and 20 billion yen in EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 2029 in February 2024. During the medium-term target achievement period, the Company Group maintains a basic policy of revenue and profit growth, while prioritizing responses to changes in business environment and attractive investment opportunities to challenge early achievement of the new medium-term targets. Regarding shareholder returns, the Company Group currently considers itself to be in a continued growth phase and believes that allocating capital to aggressive investments for sustainable growth represents the maximum benefit to shareholders. The Company's approach to growth investments is disclosed in the Full-Year Financial Results Briefing Materials for fiscal year ending December 2025. https://ssl4.eir-parts.net/doc/4480/ir_material_for_fiscal_ym/198512/00.pdf The Company Group has introduced a restricted share compensation system for officers and employees, providing incentives for sustained improvement of the Company's medium- to long-term corporate value and advancing shared interests with shareholders through such measures.
