Reason for the revision

During the fourth quarter, orders in the consulting business remained at a high level, while expenses related to mid-career hiring were below expectations, among other factors, resulting in operating profit and ordinary profit exceeding the previous forecast. In addition, net income fell short of the previous forecast because deferred tax assets were reversed following a review of their recoverability.
