The reasons the company gives

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

Steady growth in the number of paid members was the primary driver of higher revenue and profit. Although costs increased for server fees, system management, and the development of the internal structure for the electronic ticketing business, growth in the number of electronic tickets handled and trades, as well as growth in the number of members in the content business, supported results. The reason for not disclosing a forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is that it is difficult at this time to reasonably calculate the impact on results of strategic investments in organizational restructuring, global expansion, generative AI, and other areas.
