The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to the expansion of outsourcing in the IT operations and maintenance area for the manufacturing sector, orders received for contracted development projects, and the expansion of infrastructure service projects in the public and social sectors. Although the increase in revenue and operational improvement initiatives had a positive impact on operating income, it was below the year-earlier level because the company continued to invest in human resources, solution development, strengthening head office functions and promoting internal digital transformation.
