First, on behalf of Kamigumi and all of our Group companies, we would like to express our warmest wishes to our shareholders and investors, and extend our appreciation for their patronage.

Next, we would like to take this opportunity to report on the results of business operations in the first half of Kamigumi's 87th fiscal term (April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025).

In the logistics services industry, although there are signs of recovery in the handling of import cargo, the challenging business environment persisted due to the continued high fuel prices and rising labor costs.

Under these circumstances, the Group has promoted initiatives in line with the basic principles of the Medium-Term Management Plan 2030, which commenced this fiscal year. Domestically, we completed the construction of a logistics center at the Port of Tomakomai, and internationally, our U.S. subsidiary has begun operating company-operated warehouse.

Reflecting an increase in handling volumes in port & harbor transport, warehousing, and domestic transportation, in the six months ended September 30, 2025, net sales, operating profit, recurring profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent all ended higher year on year, and we were able to achieve increased sales and profits.

We appreciate the ongoing support and encouragement of our shareholders.
