    ②Global Expansion Surging Domestic Connectivity Demand Achieving Global No. 1 in AI / IoT Connectivity Platform Structural growth in demand for high-bandwidth, lowlatency, high-reliability connectivity infrastructure as domestic industries pursue AI readiness. The shift to AIdriven connectivity is pushing up both connection volumes and per-connection value, entering a phase of accelerated growth. Adoption expanding into social and industrial infrastructure, centered on the US and EU. Global revenue ratio exceeds 40%. Deepening collaboration with TSD⁽¹⁾ in the US to accelerate customer acquisition, targeting a global revenue ratio above 50%. Accelerating Domestic Group Company Growth Rapid Expansion Through Overseas IoT MVNO Acquisitions Integrating group assets such as Misora Connect and Cariot to expand the economic ecosystem. Driving crosssell, reducing costs through network integration, and improving group-wide profitability by infusing SORACOM's technology capabilities. Replacing legacy infrastructure at acquired companies with a cloud-native mobile core to simultaneously achieve cost reduction and service quality improvement. Selecting targets on both regional and technology complementarity axes to make Global No. 1 irreversible. Connected Car / IoT Infrastructure Business for Carriers Phased Entry into Regions Adjacent to Europe and the Americas Vertically integrating connectivity functions around SGP.32-compliant eSIM management (Remote SIM Provisioning), expanding connected car case studies, and capturing MNO infrastructure refresh demand worth tens of billions of yen through cloud-based replacement of legacy telecom equipment. Expanding into high-growth emerging markets including Latin America and Asia. Leveraging local partnerships and global coverage as weapons to capture IoT market growth in new regions ahead of competitors.
