The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The increase in operating profit was attributed to a large transaction in the DX Promotion Business in Q4, higher profits in the Digital Risk Business and other businesses, and optimization of company-wide expenses. The net loss was attributed to total impairment losses of ¥274 million, including those related to the carve-out of JAPANDX, and the restructuring of unprofitable businesses.
