We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the continued support and patronage you extend to GMO Internet, Inc.
GMO Internet is a comprehensive Internet company engaged in the Internet Infrastructure business-encompassing domains, cloud and rental server (hosting) services, and Internet access-as well as the Internet Advertising and Media business, together with "GMO GPU Cloud," a cloud service for generative AI launched in 2024.
On January 1, 2025, in conjunction with the transition of GMO Internet Group to a holding company structure, we succeeded to the Internet Infrastructure business and embarked on a new chapter under our new corporate name. Furthermore, on October 1, 2026, we welcomed GMO Commerce, Inc. (TSE Growth: 410A), a listed company with distinctive strengths in in-store sales promotion, as a new member of our family. With the addition of comprehensive marketing capabilities to both our Internet Infrastructure and Advertising and Media businesses, we will further accelerate our pursuit of synergies through mutual customer referrals and cross-selling, and advance toward a new stage of growth.
Our principal strength lies in a solid recurring revenue through which more than 13 million customers in Japan and overseas (as of the end of June 2026) utilize the services essential to conducting business and disseminating information on the Internet.
In the Internet Advertising and Media business, as the evolution of AI (artificial intelligence) continues to reshape the structure of industry, we harness advanced ad technology underpinned by AI and big data analytics to deliver comprehensive marketing solutions that resolve the marketing challenges faced by our corporate clients. To this we now add the strengths of GMO Commerce. The company maintains ongoing customer relationships with 18,191 stores (as of the end of June 2026) across the retail, food service, and service industries, and, building on its foundation in social media management support, provides marketing support that leverages AI and data. We have thus established a framework capable of providing seamless, end-to-end support-from building brand awareness through advertising and customer acquisition, to store visits and purchases, and on to continuous customer communication thereafter-enabling us to assist our clients consistently from the launch of their businesses through customer acquisition and revenue expansion.
Going forward, GMO Internet will continue to leverage its solid earnings foundation while making proactive investments in growth areas, foremost among them AI, thereby achieving sustainable growth and a further enhancement of corporate value. At the same time, we will fulfill our social responsibilities and endeavor to provide stable returns to our shareholders.
We respectfully ask our shareholders and investors for their continued support and encouragement.
GMO Internet, Inc.
President and CEO
