The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Initiatives including the new “Odekake Pass” travel pass feature contributed to higher revenue, while growth in the use of off-app payments reduced variable costs such as platform fees. Offsetting factors included proactive investment in advertising and promotions, higher licensing fees, a change from the year-earlier timing of the “Station Memories!” battle event, and weaker-than-expected performance by certain existing products.
