Reason for the revision

Revenue is expected to exceed the previous forecast due to expanded transactions with customer companies, particularly enterprise customers, increased value delivered through the combination of multi-product offerings and professional services, and the consolidation of CloudFit as a subsidiary. However, profit at each stage is expected to fall below the previous forecast because hiring to support the use of AI and strengthen the product development and customer support functions progressed at a faster-than-anticipated pace, resulting in personnel and other costs being incurred ahead of schedule, while other expenses were also incorporated conservatively.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue is expected to exceed the previous forecast due to expanded transactions with customer companies, particularly enterprise customers, increased value delivered through the combination of multi-product offerings and professional services, and the consolidation of CloudFit as a subsidiary. However, profit is expected to fall below the previous forecast because hiring to support the use of AI and strengthen product development and customer support progressed more rapidly than anticipated, resulting in personnel and other costs being incurred ahead of schedule, while other expenses were also incorporated conservatively.
