The reasons the company gives

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

The company attributed the decrease in profit to higher outsourcing costs and cost of sales accompanying revenue growth, upfront investment in recruitment, human-resource development and research and development, increases in other expenses, and differences in the timing of recognizing shareholder benefit expenses. Revenue growth was driven by demand for system development in the public-sector, life insurance and telecommunications fields, municipal DX projects, and the expansion of projects related to AI, cloud-based expense settlement and RPA.
