The reasons the company gives

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

Net sales were affected by the exclusion from consolidation of a subsidiary sold in the previous fiscal year. The underlying increases in sales and profit were driven by growth in domestic debugging services against the backdrop of the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, an increase in higher-margin domestic debugging services, and AGEST's business structure reforms. Net income increased due to higher operating profit and a reduction in extraordinary losses, despite a decline from the previous fiscal year's gain on the sale of shares in an affiliated company.
