The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

For the fiscal year ending March 2026, the increase in revenue was driven by growth in the number of assigned personnel and higher technical fees. Expenses increased due to improvements in employee compensation and rebranding costs associated with the 30th anniversary project, but the effect of higher revenue absorbed these increases. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, despite some concerns, the Company expects customers to continue investing in development and demand for engineers with specialized skills to increase.
