Selected Profit and Loss Information

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure which does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA is related to cash earnings and is defined for these purposes as earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortisation (in both cost of sales and general and administration expenses), interest expenses and also excludes certain non-recurring or non-cash expenditure and income. This non-IFRS measure is not recognised under IFRS Accounting Standards and accordingly, shareholders are cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The non-IFRS measure presented is unlikely to be comparable to similar measure presented by other issuers. The Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations which the Corporation can use to fund working capital requirements, service interest and principal debt repayment and fund future growth initiatives.

Outlook

The Corporation announces its financial forecasts for the next twelve months ending December 31, 2026. The information included in this news release represents management's guidance as approved on February 12, 2026. The financial outlook was prepared for BHL, the ultimate holding company of the Corporation, for its public company reporting obligations in Japan.

Material Factors and Assumptions Supporting the Financial Outlook

a. Software Products and Services segment

• Revenue from the Corporation's major customers declined by 33.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, reflecting reduced demand for outsourced headcount.

• Gross margin for the Software Products and Services segment decreased to 39.5% in 2025, from 43.8% in 2024.

• For 2026, revenue from key customers is expected to remain relatively stable. Management forecasts a gross margin of 37.9%, incorporating:

• Moderated increases in man-hour rates.

• Salary increments factored into the forecast.

• Management considers this outlook conservative and achievable, given prevailing market conditions and customer demand

b. A2P Messaging Segment

• Traffic growth declined by 65.1% in 2025 compared to 2024, with all regions impacted by intensified competition.

• Revenue decreased by 63.2%, while gross margin fell to 24.9% in 2025, from 51.9% in 2024.

• Despite price adjustments to preserve margin, performance continued to weaken.

c. Operating Environment

• No significant changes in the competitive or regulatory environment are anticipated that would materially affect pricing or gross margins, other than those disclosed in sections (a) and (b).

d. Value-Added Services

• The financial outlook assumes the timely completion and launch of additional value-added services, which are expected to enhance customer offerings and support revenue growth.

e. Financing

• The Corporation expects to maintain access to financing through loans and cash advances to support ongoing sales operation.

The purpose of this financial outlook is to enable the Corporation's ultimate holding company, BHL, to reference and incorporate such information into its own financial disclosure. The operations of GINSMS represent a significant component of BHL's growth strategy, and management believes that providing this outlook will be useful to BHL's shareholders.
