These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The increases in revenue and operating profit were driven by contributions from the two companies consolidated as subsidiaries from the third quarter, demand for in-person surveys, repeat orders, and ongoing orders for integrated marketing support in existing businesses. The increase in revenue from Digital Marketing and PR was attributable to contributions from the two subsidiaries. The decline in Customer Success and Other was due to fewer spot projects being won.
