AVANT GROUP’s corporate philosophy is to “Create a 100-Year Company” — an enduring institution that exists to create lasting value for society. We are advancing our medium-term management plan, “BE GLOBAL 2028 (BG28),” under our approach to “Corporate Value Management,” which seeks to translate the value we provide to society and our customers into enhanced corporate value. These efforts have now entered their fourth year.
Fiscal year ended June 2026, the previous fiscal year and the midpoint of BG28, was a year in which the Group as a whole achieved record-high levels of both net sales and operating profit, while differences in progress among our businesses became more apparent, bringing into clearer view the gap between where we are today and where we aim to be in the final year of BG28.
In particular, the Management Solutions Business, which we had positioned as the business with the greatest growth potential under the current medium-term plan, faced significant challenges as we were unable to fully meet customer needs. Enhancing corporate value is an important issue shared by many of our customers, and we believe the market potential is substantial. At the same time, we recognize that our ability to convert this potential into business opportunities has not yet been sufficient. We are therefore reviewing our management structure, business model, and human capital in an integrated manner.
In our DX Promotion Business, we view changes in customer needs arising from advances in AI and other technologies as new business opportunities. We are working to strengthen our ability to respond to these changes while improving productivity and profitability. Meanwhile, the Consolidated Financial Disclosure Business is evolving into an even more profitable business model, supported by its deep domain expertise as well as continued improvements in quality and productivity, including the internal use of AI.
Technological advances, including AI, and changes in the market environment are transforming the very fields in which we operate. Rather than simply extending what we have done in the past, we need to shift to a management approach that is built on the assumption of constant change.
Since our founding, AVANT GROUP has experienced numerous major shifts in the business environment. Through those experiences, we have learned that our ability to respond to change ultimately depends on the strength of our own management capabilities, and that periods of major change can also become opportunities for significant organizational growth.
The Corporate Value Management we aspire to is about building a “collective of autonomous business leaders” capable of sustaining growth and development amid environmental change. By doing so, we aim to enhance our ability to contribute to society and our customers and, as a result, increase our intrinsic corporate value.
We will continue to refine our approach to Corporate Value Management and strengthen our organization so that we can turn change into a major opportunity for growth.
