The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Panel research and CR, the core businesses, remained firm, while price increases and the acquisition of new contracts also contributed. Operating profit increased due to management focused on profitability, the elimination of duplicate costs following completion of the transition to the new SCI, higher revenue from highly profitable panel research, and lower investment. Meanwhile, profit attributable to owners of the parent declined due to the absence of the special gain associated with the transfer of the CRO business in the previous year, as well as impairment losses related to Research & Innovation.
