The reasons the company gives

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

Profit has remained above plan due to productivity improvements from the use of AI and investment controls, while closing large projects with existing major customers has taken longer than expected, resulting in delays in receiving orders. The profit forecast incorporates upfront investments in new app development, infrastructure platform renewal, sales promotion and other areas.
