These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

Cloud revenue increased mainly through upselling and cross-selling to existing customers. Meanwhile, communications expenses associated with the increase in recurring revenue, personnel expenses due to the increase in headcount, and outsourcing expenses related to the use of partner companies all increased, putting downward pressure on operating profit.
