Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

The factors contributing to higher revenue and earnings were an increase in the number of Moppy members, the broader rollout of operational expertise to Point Income, expansion of Moppy's gross profit, improved margins through collaboration between Point Income and AD.TRACK, and growth in new Labol users. The factors contributing to lower earnings were weak sales of D2C's core products, valuation losses caused by the decline in cryptocurrency prices, and bitbank's equity-method investment loss.

The reasons the company gives

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

Results grew due to an increase in the number of Moppy members, the broader rollout of operational expertise to Point Income, expansion of Moppy's gross profit, improved margins through collaboration between Point Income and AD.TRACK, and growth in new users of Labol. In D2C, sales of core products struggled. Mercury recorded valuation losses due to the decline in cryptocurrency prices, while bitbank recorded an equity-method investment loss.
