The global golf industry continues its evolution alongside the advancements in IT and innovation. As a result, new ways of enjoying golf continue to emerge and the attraction of golf has broadened and become more diverse.

GDO`s focus is to fully leverage IT and technology to transform golf itself. Through the pursuit of these initiatives, there is a strong commitment to providing enhanced services to customers and striving for continued corporate growth.

In February 2024, our group announced a new three-year mid-term business plan through 2026. During the previous mid-term plan, we made significant investments in the U.S. golf market. This new term plan will focus on scaling and stabilizing the growth and economics of these investments in the US. On a consolidated basis, we will also continue to focus on balance sheet health. In order to deliver healthier financials and better overall performance, we will focus on the following three initiatives.

The first is to achieve continuous net sales growth, efficient operations, and profit margin improvements. We will achieve this by maximizing customer touchpoints, for an all-around relationship with customers, through flexible innovation cycles and optimization in all services, as well as increasing efficiency and cost control in all operations through the promotion of AI and automation.

The second is to maximize profits and accelerate returns with our U.S operations. We will achieve this by improving profitability and maximizing cash flows through cost controls and enhanced inventory management to reduce the borrowing ratio and increase net assets by the final fiscal year.

The third is to utilize media, data and technologies to provide the most ideal golf services, anytime and anywhere. We will achieve this by further enhancing customer touchpoints through a community setting, while embracing modern technologies such as AI.

Under these three strategic policies, we expect to enhance profitability and to achieve strengthened financial foundation. Further ahead, we are committed to pursuing further growth in the future.

Using our record of accomplishment and experience as a specialist provider of IT-based golf services to the Japanese and US golf industries, we will lead the way for the digital transformation of golf services in both markets as an industry leader. In doing so, we will aim to become a comprehensive global golf service provider.

As the one and only company that can offer a full range of golf services to allow people worldwide to enjoy their golf lives, we will aim for an increase in our corporate value and respond to the expectations of our investors and customers.
