Message from Management

Our business model is characterized by its high stability, often referred to as a stock-type or subscription-based model, with recurring revenue accounting for over 97% of our sales [*1]. Furthermore, in pursuit of additional growth, we are actively investing in the expansion of existing services, the development of new businesses derived from these services, and M&A activities. These investments are executed with meticulous calculation of capital allocation [*2] and return on investment (ROI). Going forward, with maintaining our focus on a stable recurring revenue business, we intend to promote a model where profits steadily accumulate, layer upon layer, much like geological strata.

In our Investor Relations (IR) activities, we place the utmost importance on the trust of our shareholders and investors. Our approach to IR is characterized by a commitment to communicating facts transparently, appropriately, and in a timely manner. Regardless of whether financial performance or business progress is good or not, we are committed to disclosing the complete operational status of our company accurately. We aim to earn your support based on a deep understanding of our company, including its inner workings.

Commemorating our 25th anniversary, we reflected on what we can contribute to society today and established our Corporate Purpose Statement, which defines our activities and goals for addressing social challenges.
Since the period known as the "Lost 30 Years," the Japanese economy has struggled to overcome deflation. Progress in technological innovation and the creation of growth industries has stalled. Compounding these issues, a declining workforce due to a low birthrate and aging population hinders economic growth, leading to a significant decrease in Japan's international competitiveness.

Underlying these issues lie three significant "walls" hindering the flow of money in business transactions: outdated "Customs," operational "Inefficiency," and challenges related to "Credit" assessment. Traditional business customs, inefficient transaction processes, and issues surrounding creditworthiness for counterparties impede the circulation of funds for companies. As a result, numerous businesses across Japan are unable to realize their full potential.

This stagnant flow of money stifles corporate growth and represents a serious risk of continued economic stagnation for Japan's overall economy. Enhancing Japan's economic competitiveness requires dismantling these significant "walls."

Our company addresses these three walls hindering business transactions by providing various innovative services designed to connect and facilitate the flow of money. We aim to smooth the flow of money, enabling Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and core industries in Japan to unleash their inherent potential. Consequently, we strive to create opportunities where business transactions flow smoothly, continuously generating new value.

Ultimately, we aim to strengthen the foundations of Japan's economic power and foster an environment where companies can achieve sustainable growth.

Our Vision:
"Reinvigorating Japan through a payment infrastructure that frees commerce."
To our valued shareholders and investors, we humbly request your continued long-term support for ROBOT PAYMENT and look forward to your ongoing guidance and encouragement.
