GMO Internet is a comprehensive Internet company that provides seamless support to its customers—from disseminating information to attracting visitors to their websites—built upon a customer base of more than 13 million Internet infrastructure service contracts in Japan and overseas (as of the end of June 2026) and a solid recurring revenue base generated on a subscription basis. With the pursuit of business synergies and the building of our community of partners positioned as our growth strategy, we aim to walk alongside our customers' businesses, growing together with them, and to endure as a company that continues for a century and beyond.
Our Growth Strategy
Under the new structure established in January 2025, when we succeeded the Internet Infrastructure Business from GMO Internet Group, we are pursuing growth across the following four areas.
1. Stable and Continuous Growth of Existing Businesses
Building on the bedrock revenue base of our Internet Infrastructure Business — services that "will never disappear and are indispensable" — together with the strong in-house development capabilities behind them, we will pursue further growth.
2. Synergies between Internet Infrastructure and Online Advertising and Media
By combining the customer bases, cutting-edge technologies, and expertise of our Internet Infrastructure Business and our Online Advertising and Media Business, we will accelerate growth.
3. New Businesses
Beginning with "GMO GPU Cloud," our cloud service for generative AI, we will take on ambitious challenges in cutting-edge technology domains.
4. Expanding Our Circle of Partners
By welcoming as new partners those companies whose strengths intersect with ours to create new possibilities, we will maximize the value we deliver.
The reorganization and integration of our marketing businesses in October 2026 advances two of these areas at once: the pursuit of business synergies (2) and the expansion of our circle of partners (4).

Synergy Effects
Advertising Business Strengths Supporting Infrastructure Business Growth
The primary customer acquisition method for the Internet Infrastructure Business is Internet advertising. By leveraging the marketing capabilities of the Advertising Business, we will further expand the customer base of the Infrastructure Business and enhance profitability.
Applying the Infrastructure Business's Stock-Based Business Model to the Advertising Business
The strong stock-based business model of the Infrastructure Business serves as a foundation for stable revenue generation. By applying this expertise to the Advertising Business, we will strengthen revenue potential and develop new long-term revenue-generating products.
Creating New Services with AI Technology
As we aim to become the "No.1 corporate group that creates the future with AI," we are actively promoting AI research and development. By utilizing cutting-edge technologies that support generative AI platforms, we are working on developing next-generation digital marketing services that enhance targeting and customer experiences.

Synergy Effects
Cross-Selling and the Shift to Stock-Based Revenue
We will promote cross-selling to the existing customers of GMO Commerce and GMO NIKKO, improving retention rates and expanding revenue opportunities. In addition, we will develop new proposal areas such as AIO (AI Search Optimization) for retail stores, drawing on our expertise in AI search measures, while combining monthly subscription services with the flow-based revenue of the advertising agency business to advance the shift to stock-based revenue.
Synergies with the Internet Infrastructure Business
The Internet Infrastructure Business maintains ongoing relationships with more than 13 million customer contracts (as of the end of June 2026). By offering AI-powered marketing products to this customer base, and by broadening the range of services we can provide as a consolidated group, we will expand revenue opportunities and build a solid management foundation that allows us to grow together with our customers over the long term.
Development of New Businesses
By combining the in-store behavioral data, advertising operations data, and media browsing data held by each company, we will drive the creation of new marketing services and businesses.
