From the perspective of progress rate, sales at the end of Q1 were at 21%, which is an improvement from last year’s 19%, indicating that we believe there are no issues in achieving the forecast.
Q1 has fewer events and is a colder season, leading to a seasonal decrease in rentals; however, just like last year, both users and rental numbers are expected to increase towards the latter half of the year.
In Q2 there is Golden Week, in Q3 the summer vacation, and in Q4 events like Halloween, Christmas, and end-of-year parties increase opportunities for going out compared to Q1. This trend from previous years suggests significant progress toward achieving the earnings forecast each quarter moving forward.
