The reasons the company gives

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

The company explains that performance remained strong because sports broadcasts and IP collaboration initiatives were well received. The financial statements show that total income taxes and other taxes increased from a negative ¥11 million in the same period of the previous year to ¥111 million, but the company provides no further explanation for the decline in net income.
