| Total revenues | JPY50.4 billion | up | 1.1 | % | YoY2 | |
| Gross profit | JPY8.1 billion | up | 9.9 | % | YoY | |

Overview of 1Q20 Financial Results and Business Outlook
“We started FY2020 with well-accomplished first quarter: accumulation of enterprise network services as well as profit improvement significantly exceeded our expectation. Amid the abnormal circumstance caused by the COVID-19, we were able to continuously and structurally improve operating profit by following FY2019 trend of solid accumulation of enterprise network services, which are all monthly recurring revenues. The COVID-19 has absolutely stimulated slow-moving Japanese enterprises to increase their dependency on network services and other IT means and we firmly believe this trend should last for middle-to-long term. For IIJ, this mainstream adoption of network and IT by Japanese enterprises is very positive as such shift should translate into network services’ continuous revenue growth for our business as well as profit growth contribution. Regarding Systems Integration (SI), 1Q system construction revenue and gross profit were mostly in line with our expectation, based on 4Q19-end order backlog. Although favorable demand remained, 1Q20 order-received was relatively small compared to normal years due to slowdown of Japanese enterprises’ business activity, which we expect to gradually recover. As for ATM operation business, most hard-hit business of ours by the pandemic and we expect its revenue and profit to decrease year over year, delivered better than expected results,” said Eijiro Katsu, COO and President of IIJ.
“As for other noticeable business developments, we are the provider of Smart Factory for Toyota Motor’s subsidiary.4 We are excited about executing this kind of full-scale and advanced IoT adoption as such projects contribute to accelerate many of our existing revenue categories such as mobile, security, cloud and SI. We continuously aim to acquire flagship IoT projects by leveraging our competitive advantage of having both various network services and SI expertise. DeCurret, our affiliated company engaged in fintech, has been co-working with its enterprise shareholders on settlement-related PoC experiments such as issuing digital currencies,5 P2P electricity trading6 and executing smart contracts.7 They have also been playing an active role in discussing about the future of digital currency settlement in Japan with mega banks and other major players,8” continued Katsu.
“What we saw in 1Q about Japanese enterprises requiring network services and other IT means might be a small change, yet this could eventually become a profound catalyst in pushing them to rely much more on them to bring greater business productivity and continuity. IIJ shall continue to operate exceptionally reliable network and system infrastructures as well as develop highly valuable network services toward our current client base, mostly comprised by medium-to-large Japanese enterprises. IIJ shall strive to expand its corporate value by sustaining Japanese enterprises’ network systems that are surely becoming critical social infrastructure,” concluded Koichi Suzuki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of IIJ.

Considered Factors for FY2020 Financial Targets
Due to seasonal factors, our financial results tend to be small in first quarter and large in fourth quarter every fiscal year. While 1Q20 financial results, profit in particular, exceeded our plan, because it continues to be difficult to meticulously estimate how much the COVID-19 impacts our earnings, as of today, our financial targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 (FY2020) announced on May 14, 2020 remain unchanged.
