Book 'Goodbye Integrated Report' to be Released on June 1, 2026

Wills Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Mitsuo Sugimoto), an IR support company connecting investors and listed companies, will release the book 'Goodbye Integrated Report' (Published by Sendenkaigi, Price: 2,200 yen including tax) on June 1, 2026 (Monday). The book is co-authored by the IR professional group 'Wills' and 'Panhouse Inc.', which specializes in cutting-edge AI implementation.

Background of Publication In recent years, the number of integrated reports issued by Japanese companies has exceeded 1,200, a six-fold increase from a decade ago. However, many companies face structural challenges such as 'increased production man-hours' and 'formalization of content,' making the issuance of these reports a significant burden.

Furthermore, many companies are preoccupied with producing 100-page 'deliverables,' often failing to function as the intended 'dialogue tool' with investors.

This book, born from a joint project between Wills and Panhouse, proposes a new way of corporate reporting. By focusing on the potential of real-time dialogue through AI-driven structured data, automated translation, narrative generation, and interactive 'co-creation platforms,' it presents the full picture of 'RX: Reporting Transformation 3.0.'

Future Outlook Wills aims to resolve information asymmetry in capital markets using investor and shareholder data, and to advance the corporate value creation process. With the publication of this book, the company will further strengthen its measures and services to enhance the quality of dialogue between companies and investors, contributing to sustainable corporate value improvement.
