【FY24 Q2 Earnings FAQ】Could you provide information on the acquisition strategy aimed at achieving the medium-term business plan? Additionally, what are your thoughts on depreciation and amortization of goodwill?

We had anticipated that the depreciation ratio would decrease with an increase in sales, but we now expect it to fluctuate with increases and decreases depending on the timing of M&A activities. On the other hand, we do not foresee a significant rise in the depreciation ratio of tangible fixed assets.

Regarding amortization, including goodwill, we expect it may increase depending on the timing. The reason we disclosed the medium-term business plan in terms of EBITDA is that we were considering M&A activities.
