The reasons the company gives

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

Higher management revenue from disability employment support and spot services for wide-area public administration BPO contributed to revenue growth. However, the reaction to the previous year's carbon credit sales in the environmental management support services business, lower revenue from the human resources solutions business, and the payment of approximately ¥140 million in special bonuses put downward pressure on profit.
