Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue increased mainly because orders in the Consulting business remained steady, while segment profit increased due to higher revenue in that business and an increase in high-value-added projects. The DX and Regional Co-creation business reported higher revenue and profit on increased orders, whereas losses in the Innovation business widened due to lower revenue. The ¥19 million gain on the sale of shares in an affiliated company also boosted interim net income.

The reasons the company gives

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

The main reasons were steady orders in the Consulting business, an increase in gross profit resulting from higher revenue in that business, and the recognition of a ¥19 million gain on the sale of shares in an affiliated company. The revision to the full-year forecast reflects steady performance in the Consulting and DX and Regional Co-creation businesses, as well as a review of the plan based on the policy of concentrating on both businesses in the second half and scaling back the Innovation business.
