Message from CEO<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\"Jin\r\n\"Jin\r\n

Amid Future-focused Transformations,
Moving ValueCommerce to the Next Stage<\/h4>\r\n

Jin Kagawa
Representative Director, President and CEO<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Challenges for the Future and Determination to Grow<\/h5>\r\n

Even amid rapid changes to the external environment, FY2024 served as an investment period for our company, during which we built foundations for new growth. We proactively invested in new domains such as retail media, social commerce, and travel technology, so the next phase for us is starting to come into view.<\/p>\r\n

In our EC solutions business, we aimed to expand the amount of distribution in which our company is involved, and we released new services in the retail media domain. In our marketing solutions business, we significantly expanded our services in the social commerce domain by: continuing to grow \u201cAffiliate Marketing,\u201d independently developing the profile creation service \u201cVLINK,\u201d and receiving business transfers of the social media-specific trial-use promotional campaign & word-of-mouth generation service \u201cmonicam\u201d and the influencer matching service \u201cCastbook.\u201d Furthermore, in March 2025, we accelerated business growth by adding the company that provides the subscription-based influencer matching service \u201cBUZMA,\u201d to our group.<\/p>\r\n

In addition, in our travel technology business, through a tie-up with UPBOND Inc., we utilized cutting-edge technologies in the Web3\/NFT domain in order to promote business diversification, and this included working on the building and development of an accommodation management system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Adversity as Key to Growth<\/h5>\r\n

Meanwhile, accompanying management-strategy changes by our major business partner LY Corporation, our transaction contracts regarding the pay-per-click advertising service \u201cStoreMatch\u201d and the CRM tool \u201cSTORE\u2019s R8\u201d are now set to end on July 31, 2025.<\/p>\r\n

In response to the announcement of the above, we have been receiving comments expressing concern over the impact of such developments on our business performance. Nevertheless, instead of viewing this situation as \u201cadversity,\u201d we view it as \u201ca renewed opportunity.\u201d We shall utilize the experience and know-how that we have accumulated through operating the two above-mentioned services, and our internal resources that have been involved with the services, in order to move forward with preparations for the development of services for even larger numbers of customers in new fields.<\/p>\r\n

To date, our company has thoroughly demonstrated an inherent venture spirit, and we have grown while generating new businesses. Although it may be a well-worn saying, I believe that \u201cadversity is an opportunity,\u201d so I am confident that the situation will get better going forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Unaffected by Environment: Winning with Quality Characteristic of ValueCommerce<\/h5>\r\n

In April 2025, we engaged in an absorption-type merger with our subsidiary Dynatech Inc., and have since been promoting our travel technology business in a unified manner. Furthermore, we have been making a series of significant decisions that will impact the future of our company, and this has included M&A for cultivating new domains. In addition, we have been moving forward with wide-ranging initiatives, and these have included the optimization of internal resources accompanying organizational changes, and the utilization of advanced technologies such as AI and Web3. All of these initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of our services.<\/p>\r\n

I believe that in order for us to continue to provide high-quality services to all of our various stakeholders, quality will serve as our most important strength.<\/p>\r\n

Businesses are constantly impacted by external environments and continuously undergo changes. We shall respond to such changes with flexibility and speed, and shall continue to put forth tireless efforts in order to make ValueCommerce a company that continues to demonstrate its presence. As such, we humbly hope to receive your ongoing support and guidance in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
