We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
In the fiscal year ended September 2025, although there were uncertain factors such as rising prices, foreign exchange fluctuations, and geopolitical risks, Japan’s economy maintained a moderate growth trend, underpinned by positive developments including an increase in inbound visitors to Japan, growth in corporate investment, and the progress of new technological innovations such as generative AI.
In the face-to-face cashless payment market, where our Group plays a key role, merchants’ moves to adopt and enhance cashless payments accelerated further, driven by the recovery in inbound consumption, responses to labor shortages, and the firm establishment of demand for contactless payments. As a result, we strengthened our payment platform and expanded into a more diverse range of industries, business categories, and usage scenarios, steadily increasing both the number of active IDs and ARPU and achieving solid business growth during the fiscal year.
In June 2025, we transitioned to the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, marking our advancement to a new stage as a company. Guided by our mission of “Transforming Payments, Changing Society — Toward Becoming the No.1 Cashless Platformer,” we will continue to fulfill our responsibility as a company providing the essential social infrastructure of cashless payments, striving for sustainable growth and the enhancement of corporate value.
We look forward to your continued understanding and support as we strive to create new value for all stakeholders.
President & CEO,
Kentaro Sugiyama
