The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the BtoB media business, growth was affected by a slowdown among domestic SaaS customers and lower revenue from digital events, while advertising expenses were invested in growth areas such as Hacobune Navi. Across the company, labor and personnel expenses, system enhancements, 25th-anniversary events, one-time M&A-related expenses, other expenses, and costs associated with product enhancements increased. In the BtoC media business, revenue from programmatic advertising increased, while optimization of the UI and content mix improved advertising rates, contributing to higher profit.
