The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue and operating profit were supported by a 133% year-on-year increase in influencer PR, the consolidation impact of iHack and SEIRYO, and growth in the existing businesses. However, ordinary profit declined because one-off expenses, including brokerage fees related to the acquisition of SEIRYO, were recorded as non-operating expenses.
