The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decline in gross profit resulting from lower revenue in ニフティ不動産’s property-purchase segment, along with M&A-related acquisition costs associated with the purchase of shares in レプリス社, weighed on operating profit. Meanwhile, growth in ドアーズ社’s renovation services, the recovery of ニフティ不動産, the initial consolidation effect of レプリス社, and control of sales promotion expenses contributed to higher revenue and improved results.
