The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The improvement in operating profit and the drivers of growth in the second half were attributed to the strength of the core secondary market segment, growth in the four priority growth areas, and, in particular, higher sales and an expanding user base for “J.League Fantasy Card.” The temporary impact on talent matching was attributed to the client’s notice of withdrawal arriving immediately beforehand, leaving insufficient time for sourcing. The company said this was subsequently offset by improving utilization and adding personnel-months.
