The reasons the company gives

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

Net sales benefited from an increase in the number of customers with ARR of at least ¥10 million, growth in subscription revenue, and higher recurring service revenue, mainly from PLAID ALPHA. The reasons given for adjusted operating profit were steady sales growth, the completion of upfront investments, and a slowdown in the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
