Medium-Term Management Plan

A Commitment to New Growth:
Linking Client Value Enhancement with Our Own
The Septeni Group is driven by our mission: “To inspire the world with entrepreneurship.” This “Entrepreneurship”—the courage to embrace change and create new value—is deeply rooted in each of our employees and defines our organizational identity.
In formulating this Medium-Term Management Plan, I have deeply reflected on our mission and held
extensive discussions with the management team to define the principles that will ensure our Group
remains indispensable 10 years from now and beyond. Through this process, I have reached a clear
conclusion: the “world” we serve consists of our stakeholders including our clients, partners, and
shareholders, and “to inspire the world” means maximizing our own corporate value by first enhancing the corporate value of our clients through our business activities. This vision is now crystallized in VISION 2030.
Over the past two years, we have successfully built the management and operational foundations necessary to reach our visions. Moving forward, we will work together as one group to contribute to our clients’ growth and accelerate the sustainable enhancement of our corporate value as we strive to achieve VISION 2030.
As we enter our “third entrepreneurial phase,” we invite you to look forward to the new landscapes we will create and the significant social impact we will deliver. Please keep a close eye on the further evolution of the Septeni Group.
VISION 2030 and Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2026-2028): Overview

VISION 2030
The mission of the Group is “To inspire the world with entrepreneurship,” and as a pathway toward its realization, we have set forth “VISION 2030.”
In our business operations to date, each of our businesses have leveraged their expertise and strengths to support the resolution of client challenges.
Looking toward 2030, even as society and the times continue to change, we aim to become a corporate group that further “inspire the world” by collectively addressing all business outcomes that contribute to maximizing our clients’ corporate value, under the banner of VALUE MAXIMIZER.

“VALUE MAXIMIZER” and the Positioning of Each Phase
With VALUE MAXIMIZER as our VISION 2030, we aim to generate ¥10 billion in both Non-GAAP operating profit and net profit by 2030, becoming a corporate group that achieves both high growth and high shareholder returns. To reach this goal, we will work together as a unified group to successfully execute our Medium-term Management Plan over the next three years.

Basic Policies and Key Measures
The four basic policies of the Medium-term Management Plan and the key measures associated with these policies are as follows.

Quantitative Targets up to FY2028
The quantitative targets for the three-year period up to 2028 are as follows.
These figures are based on our organic growth plan and do not include potential inorganic growth. By incorporating strategic growth investments such as M&A over the next three years, we aim to achieve double-digit ROE at the earliest possible stage for the group as a whole.

Deepening Businesses
The themes and business strategies for each segment aimed at deepening our businesses are as follows.
Marketing Communication Segment

Direct Business Segment

Data & Solutions Segment

Exploring Businesses
Starting from 2026, the inaugural year of VISION 2030, we will embark on a new challenge with the aim of commercializing the HR Technology area, while continuing to deepen and explore within these three segments.

Strengthening Management Foundation
To strengthen our management foundation, we have positioned the following three areas as key initiatives: strengthening human capital, strengthening governance, and promoting AI strategies.
Strengthening human capital
Looking ahead, we will continue to have three pillars: the democratization of Entrepreneurship, the utilization of Digital HR, and the promotion of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). In the short term, we will focus on creating an environment where our talent can fully exercise their entrepreneurship. Over the medium term, we intend to advance our human capital initiatives, including robust succession planning.

Strengthening governance
The overall policy for strengthening governance is as follows.
To gain the trust of all our stakeholders and ensure the transparency and fairness of our management, we are committed to enhancing governance from both offensive and defensive perspectives, aiming for sustainable increases in corporate value.

Promoting AI Strategy
The overall policy for promoting AI strategies is as follows.
Our goal is value co-creation through the collaboration of humans and AI, focused on two main pillars: value creation for clients and transformation of internal operations. To achieve this, we are building a foundation based on three areas: talent development, building organizational structure, and AI governance.
During 2026, we will establish a group-wide AI Promotion Committee. This will enable faster decision-making and risk mitigation, allowing us to drive the utilization of Generative AI even more aggressively.

Capital Allocation
The outlook for capital allocation over the next three years is as follows.

Cash out
Based on our current shareholder return policy, we expect to provide a minimum of 11.2 billion yen in shareholder returns through dividends over the three-year period.
Growth investment
We have established a strategic investment budget of up to ¥25.0 billion, and will actively seek and execute investment opportunities across three key areas below.
・Investment in the “Exploring Businesses”:
Investments to expand our capabilities that contribute to increasing our clients' corporate value.
・Investment in the “Deepening of Businesses”:
Investments to strengthen the competitiveness of our existing businesses.
・Internal Investment:
Investments in AI, human capital, and our corporate infrastructure.
