The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased as the business expanded, while operating profit grew as a result of the higher revenue. The company cited increases in technical specialist headcount, salaries and outsourcing costs as factors behind the increase in cost of sales, and higher foreign exchange gains as a factor behind the improvement in financial income and expenses. In the CS business, there were delays in securing small and medium-sized projects and cancellations, while in the MS business, projects scheduled for Q2 were brought forward and recognized in Q1.
