These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue benefited from strong performance in the social media marketing support business, new orders, and expanded support for existing customers. Operating profit improved due to cost controls, restraint in selling, general and administrative expenses, the completion of upfront investments, and growth in high-margin services. Meanwhile, the decline in the crypto asset market resulted in valuation losses on investment funds and a financial loss.
