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.

Domestic IT demand remained strong, resulting in higher revenue and profit driven by large-scale projects for government agencies, the industrial sector, the consolidation of Infocom, and an increase in high-gross-margin projects. The upward revision to the full-year operating profit forecast reflects improvements in the gross margin and other factors absorbing the costs of new initiatives, AI licenses and other items.
