The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The Company secured an operating profit by converting retail revenue to a recurring model, accumulating contracts with manufacturers, and controlling costs. However, revenue recognition of several tens of millions of yen from additional spot development for major retailers was pushed back to the third quarter, while personnel expenses and other costs increased slightly due to base-pay increases.
