The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased because the core businesses, including panel research and CR, remained solid despite the transfer of the CRO business and the reversal of the impact of a large project in the previous year. Operating income increased due to profit-focused management, the elimination of duplicate costs following completion of the transition to the new SCI, and higher revenue from the highly profitable panel research business. Profit attributable to owners of the parent declined due to the reversal of the special gain from the transfer of the CRO business recorded in the previous year.
