Financial Highlights

Since its establishment in 2012, Global Sky Group has grown through business investment in the education, environmental and food sectors that contribute to sustainable development.

Since 2015, the Group has expanded its operation of educational facilities in the Oceania region.

In the third three-year medium-term business plan starting in 2018, the Group started rebuilding the Group identity, analysing its core competencies and reallocating management resources appropriately. Based on our strength in creating, connecting and cultivating global communities, we have solidified our switch to a business model based on providing experience-based solutions.

Specifically, we will gradually dispose of non-core businesses through capital and business alliances, seeking to develop human resources and leadership centred on the field of education and training, our Group’s core business. We will provide a connected learning experience both online and in the real world. As a result, we will achieve the sales targets of the third medium-term business plan with 2020 as its final year.

In the next medium-term plan, we will strengthen the profitability of our learning centre business by providing creative educational contents to monetise its value. By expanding online and through virtual reality (VR)-based education (including restaurant training provided by group restaurants), we aim to achieve sales of 10 billion yen in 2025.

We will continue to work to enhance corporate value by expanding our business base, for which we seek stakeholders’ continued support.

New Decade Outlook

As we approach the next decade, we have formulated a “New Decade Outlook” that analyses the business environment and business risks surrounding the Group in the next 10 years.

To create the sustainable society that is the basis of our foundation, the Group will plan and develop experience-based solutions that contribute to the growth and internationalisation of people, companies and communities, conducting business development activities as a provider of such creative solutions.

[ Key points ]

The global trend of economic growth from increasing population and life expectancy continues, while industrial structures and labour markets are changing drastically due to the globalisation of society and digital transformation (DX), changing consumption structures.
Severe climate change, international conflict over the environment and resources, severe food shortages due to natural disasters and pests and the spread of infectious diseases beyond seasonal influenza will stress the Earth and cities’ environmental capacity. Survival and business risks will increase at each location across the globe.
While the Group’s business model that provides experience-based solutions will greatly benefit from the online adoption of education and the acceleration of learning style reforms, the operating risks of learning centres and restaurants will increase due to the abovementioned business risks. Supply chain disruptions, disasters, loss of credit etc causing operational disruptions can be expected to affect business continuity planning (BCP).
