The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased on strong orders for the OfferBox Early Flat-Rate Plan (EX Option). Meanwhile, the operating loss widened as HR-related expenses associated with business expansion, recruitment and personnel expenses due to the increase in headcount, promotional expenses to attract students graduating in 2028, software development costs, and head office relocation expenses all increased. The shortfall against the revenue plan was due to performance-based revenue falling below plan.
