The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The company attributes the improvement in revenue and profit to the consolidation of unprofitable businesses in the previous fiscal year and the concentration of management resources on its core subscription business, rigorous cost control, improved operating efficiency, and the contribution from Innovation X Solutions (IX), acquired at the end of the previous fiscal year. The decline in the SG&A ratio is attributed to curbs on hiring, more effective utilization of personnel, a review of advertising and promotional initiatives, and lower amortization of goodwill following the recognition of an impairment loss.
