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.Hiring demand in fields including IT, consulting and pharmaceuticals, strong performance in job advertising services and Indeed, and the closing of large overseas contracts and expansion of staffing services contributed to revenue. On the earnings side, interim profit exceeded the initial forecast because some promotional expenses for acquiring job seekers were carried over to the second half and productivity improved in the recruiting business. This was partly offset by investments in service development, investments in personnel including hiring and training, and the impact of the group reorganization.
