Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue and profit increased as a result of growth in Moppy's membership, the rollout of operational expertise from Moppy to Point Income, higher gross profit at Moppy, improved profit margins through collaboration between Point Income and AD.TRACK, and growth at Laboru. Meanwhile, earnings were reduced by weak performance and impairment losses on D2C's core products, valuation losses resulting from declines in cryptocurrency prices, and equity-method investment losses related to bitbank.
