Message from the President

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each of our shareholders for their continued support.

Fiscal 2024 was the first year we conducted business under our new company name, DENTSU SOKEN. The pace of new project acquisitions fell short of the high targets we had set at the start of the fiscal year, so we were forced to revise down our earnings forecast in the third-quarter earnings announcement.

Nevertheless, company-wide efforts to strengthen sales activities and improve productivity ultimately enabled us to achieve record highs for both full-year net sales and operating profit. It was the ninth consecutive year of record-high net sales, and the seventh consecutive year of record-high operating profit.

In 2025, we will commemorate the 50th anniversary of our founding. I would like to express my gratitude to all our shareholders and everyone who has been involved in our journey so far. We are determined to create another 50 years of growth, starting now. To this end, we implemented substantial organizational reforms in January. For many years, the company has operated on the basis of a divisional system, integrating sales and technology in business units. Now, however, we have consolidated and reorganized the sales and the technology functions into separate units.

In terms of sales, we will establish a system enabling the entire Company to consistently meet increasingly complex and wide-ranging customer expectations. In the area of technology, we will create a system that facilitates the sharing of skills and expertise across business boundaries, as well as the flexible allocation of resources. Under the new organizational structure, we aim to realize high growth in fiscal 2025 and meet the targets set forth in Vision 2030.

For our 50th anniversary, our slogan is, Dare to change. This we have rendered as Fumidase, hamidase in Japanese.

To meet the expectations of our shareholders, we will work single-mindedly to take on challenges that transcend organizational boundaries and preconceived notions, striving as one company.

The DENTSU SOKEN Group looks forward to the continued, unwavering support of our shareholders.
