Of the approximately 2.3 billion yen increase in revenue, just over 80% is expected to come from domestic rentals, with the remainder stemming from increased revenue from overseas rentals and franchise operations.

The deceleration in growth compared to last year is due to several factors: the significant suppression of foot traffic and rental numbers in 2022 due to the pandemic, the reopening effects from the pandemic in 2023, and increased usage by existing users (along with a steady influx of new users).

In terms of costs, variable costs (such as payment fees, revenue sharing, rounders, and call centers) are expected to increase in line with the revenue growth.

Some fixed costs (like depreciation, SIM card costs, and installation fees) are projected to grow similarly to the increase in the number of installations. Other fixed costs, such as personnel expenses (to support existing account handling and global strengthening), are also expected to rise.

Taking these anticipated cost increases into account, the increase in operating profit is projected to be approximately 1 billion yen.
