The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the IT Tools business, Cato SASE Cloud and security products grew on increased demand for security solutions. In the IT Services business, the 3 companies acquired and made subsidiaries through M&A contributed to results. The company explained that the decline in adjusted operating profit was due to the absence of the ¥385 million gain on the sale of securities recorded in the previous fiscal year.
