The reasons the company gives

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

The Company determined that integrating イーテック into オープンアップネクストエンジニア, which has strong business synergies and extensive transaction experience with customer companies, would be appropriate from the perspectives of business stability and governance. In addition, following the integration of イーテック, エイセブHD will have only エイセブプラス as its operating subsidiary, making the integration of the two companies reasonable.
