We would like to thank you all for your continued support.
In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, although the number of positve case expanded, the impact of COVID19 gradually faded and economic activity resumed. In particular, the recovery of inbound demand was strong, and the initiatives of after COVID19, centered on the development of inbound-related merchants, which it had been promoting amid COVID era, were successful, resulting in a steady increase in transaction volume.
We were also able to steadily accumulate new transactions. In addition to large-lot transactions with Japan Post and others, we saw a steady increase in the inflow of small- and medium-sized merchants from restaurants and beauty salons, thereby expanding the customer base for our cashless platform.
As a company provides "cashless processing," an indispensable social infrastructure, our group will continue to make further efforts to meet the expectations of our shareholders.
We sincerely ask for the continued understanding and support of our shareholders for the business activities of our group.
President & CEO,
Kentaro Sugiyama
