These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

In addition to strong domestic IT demand, the gross profit margin improved due to the acquisition of high-margin Infocom, business model transformation, productivity improvements and an increase in high-value-added projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses and other costs increased following the consolidation of Infocom as a subsidiary and the execution of initiatives under the medium-term management plan, but the increase was absorbed by higher revenue and the improved gross profit margin.
