The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Performance expanded across all business domains—cybersecurity, security education and security personnel—as a result of business strategies tailored to each customer target. The company-wide increase in revenue outweighed higher investment in human capital and increased advertising and promotional expenses, resulting in higher operating profit. Ordinary profit and net profit also benefited from a decrease in equity-method investment losses, among other factors.
