Message from the Presidents

GMO Internet, Inc. is a comprehensive Internet company engaged in the Internet Infrastructure business-encompassing domains, cloud and rental server services, and Internet access-as well as the Internet Advertising and Media business.

In the Internet Infrastructure business, we support the infrastructure of the next generation through our domain registration and sales business, which provides addresses on the Internet; our cloud and rental server (hosting) business, which stores data; our Internet access provider services; and "GMO GPU Cloud," a GPU cloud service for generative AI. In the Internet Advertising and Media business, we provide Internet advertising for advertisers, centered on the digital marketing that is indispensable to attracting customers online, together with our own proprietary online media business.

On January 1, 2025, in conjunction with the transition of GMO Internet Group to a holding company structure, our Internet Infrastructure business division was integrated into GMO AD Partners, and we embarked on a new chapter under our new corporate name. We took this step because we believed it to be a necessary challenge if Internet services are to remain at the very center of daily life and business, more so than ever before.

Since beginning operations under this new structure, we have pursued our business with two fundamental strategies at its core: the pursuit of synergies between the Internet Infrastructure business and the Advertising and Media business, and the building of our community of partners. Through the fusion of the talent and expertise of both businesses, synergies have emerged across every domain-organization, technology, development, marketing, and creative-giving rise to new services and innovation. In the GPU cloud business, moreover, our technological capabilities have earned high acclaim, and this new challenge, too, is steadily bearing fruit.

Then, on October 1, 2026, we welcomed GMO Commerce, a listed company with distinctive strengths in in-store sales promotion, as a new member of our family, and the Company entered a stage of further growth. We have now established a framework capable of providing seamless support from the launch of a business through customer acquisition and revenue expansion, greatly broadening our capacity to stand alongside our clients as their businesses grow.

At a time when the evolution of AI (artificial intelligence) continues to transform the structure of industry, we believe the moment has arrived when the Company's strengths-driven by the twin engines of infrastructure and advertising and media-can be brought to bear to the fullest.

Guided by our grand vision of "Internet for Everyone," we will continue to respond to increasingly diverse needs, fulfill our mission as a company that underpins society's infrastructure toward the realization of a safe and secure Internet society, and contribute to the sustainable development of society.
