The reasons the company gives

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

The main reasons cited were increased consulting revenue, the effect of higher revenue, cost reductions, and the reclassification of selling, general and administrative expenses, including personnel expenses, to cost of sales. The full-year forecast was left undecided because the impact of factors such as the Trump tariffs and international conditions remains uncertain, making it difficult to reasonably forecast profit or loss.
