The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The number of visitors to the "Ie-zukuri Gakko" remained steady, and the number of contracts exceeded expectations, resulting in higher-than-expected operating revenue. In addition to the effect of higher revenue, interim net income exceeded the forecast due to the recognition of ¥137 million in gains on the sale of investment securities.
