Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

On the other hand, increased hiring costs, a temporary decline in utilization as sales resources were concentrated on securing large future projects, and higher equity-method investment losses weighed on profit.

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 increased due to factors including strengthened sales activities and the inclusion of 株式会社ニッセイコム in the scope of consolidation. Operating income did not grow as much as revenue because hiring costs increased as recruitment activities returned to normal, while utilization temporarily deteriorated as sales resources were concentrated on securing large future projects. Below operating income, results were affected by factors including the increase in equity-method investment losses from ¥75 million to ¥3,861 million.
