The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The factors behind the interim-period outperformance were resilient customer demand for IT investment, cloud adoption progressing as planned, and package software sales to non-mobility industries exceeding plan. For the full-year forecast, revenue was revised upward to reflect revenue progress and cost conditions through the interim period. For the second half, the company expects cloud adoption to continue and plans to revise prices in response to higher procurement and operating costs.
