Overview of 1H21 Financial Results and Business Outlook
“Along with our profit growth, we revised our FY2021 full-year financial targets upward as well as increased both interim and year-end cash dividend forecast. Accordingly, we updated our FY2023 operating margin target in our mid-term plan, which was disclosed on May 12, 2021, upward from over 9% to over 10%. Under the ongoing expansion of IT utilization by Japanese enterprises, our operating profit has been structurally increasing. This has been achieved mainly by the accumulation of various enterprise network services line-ups that we have been continuously developing for almost 30 years. As a pioneer in building Internet in Japan in the early 1990s, we have maintained our innovative corporate culture which continuously encourages us to proactively take on new initiatives. We believe that this advantage allows us to have further business opportunities in our future,” said Koichi Suzuki, Founder and Chairman of IIJ.
“As for 1H21 financials, we achieved year over year operating profit growth of 77.6%, which exceeded our initial forecast under the continuous demands from various industries in Japan for both network services and systems integration. We continuously accumulated monthly recurring revenues, 84.5% of 1H21 total revenue, brought by the revenues growth in network services, such as IP services4 and outsourcing services. With regard to systems integration which includes our new subsidiary PTC5 in Singapore, we strongly accumulated order-received for systems construction which increased by 24.4% year over year,” said Eijiro Katsu, President of IIJ.
“We will be listed in the ‘Prime Market’ under the new market segments of the Tokyo Stock Exchange6 next April. We are going to advance our long-term business strategy, and also continue to have strong focus on corporate governance to achieve sustainable growth. Our mission is always to contribute to the development of a networked society in Japan by technology innovation. Through our business expansion, we would like to continue to respond sincerely to the trust and expectations of our stakeholders,” concluded Katsu.
