The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Research and development spending by customer companies remained firm, and demand for engineers from automotive-related manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturing equipment makers was strong. Revenue increased due to growth in the number of engineers and deployed personnel, a sustained high utilization rate, higher billing rates and a higher sales mix of contract-based and outsourced services, which absorbed expenses for recruitment-related investment, IT/DX investment and training facilities.
