US Average Revenue per Job Posting on Indeed (or US ARPJ) is calculated by dividing HR Technology US revenue in a given period by the average number of daily
US job postings on Indeed during that period, as measured by the Indeed Hiring Lab, the economic research arm of Indeed. US ARPJ growth rate is the year over
year change in US ARPJ. As announced by the Indeed Hiring Lab on January 28, 2026, its Job Postings Index (JPI) methodology has been updated.This update,
which applies retrospectively to all historical data, results in no changes to the US ARPJ growth rate or the percentage change in total US job postings previously
disclosed on November 6, 2025.
Page 3
The Indeed Job Postings Index is a representation of all jobs on US Indeed, excluding those that do not meet certain Hiring Lab quality and relevancy standards,
and is intended to provide a consistent and reliable measure of US job posting trends over time. Data on non-seasonally adjusted Indeed job postings are an
index of the number of job postings on a given day, using a seven-day trailing average. The index is set to 100 on February 1, 2020. Data for several dates in
2021 and 2022 are missing and were interpolated.

As of April 1, 2025, HR Solutions of Matching & Solutions was transferred to HR Technology, and Matching & Solutions was renamed Marketing Matching
Technologies from FY2025. The pro forma results were calculated assuming that the above transfer had been effective on April 1, 2024, and the consolidated
guidance and quarterly actual results for each segment for FY2025 are shown in comparison with the pro forma results for FY2024. The calculation of pro
forma results reflects adjustments to inter-segment internal revenue and corporate overhead costs in Matching & Solutions. As a result, there are slight
differences between FY2024 actual results and the pro forma results other than HR Technology Japan and Marketing Matching Technologies. Please note that
the pro forma results for FY2024 Q1, Q2 and Q3 are reviewed, while the pro forma results for Q4 is not subject to audit or review by a certified public
accountant or an independent auditor.

3 Total amount of dividend payment is calculated from the interim dividend plus the estimated year-end dividend per share multiplied by the number of issued
shares, excluding treasury stock, as of 12/31/2025. Total amount of share repurchases reflects the value of shares repurchased from 04/01/2025 through
2/4/2026. Profit attributable to owners of the parent is based on the full-year
guidance for FY2025 as of Feb 9, 2026.
