Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

The effects of price revisions for existing customers, the weaker yen, repeat orders in the promotional advertising business, increased orders and a higher number of high-value-added projects in the reverse engineering business contributed to higher revenue and profit. Meanwhile, deferred contract renewals and contracts carried forward to the following quarter in the market forecast information sales business, as well as fewer inquiries due to deteriorating performance at major customers and reviews of their electrification strategies in the consulting business, contributed to lower revenue.

Repeat orders in the promotional advertising business, increased orders and a higher number of high-value-added projects in the reverse engineering business also contributed. Meanwhile, in the market forecast information sales business, some contract renewals were deferred or carried forward, while in the consulting business, inquiries declined due to deteriorating performance at major customers and reviews of their electrification strategies.
