The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the Smart Messaging Business, growth was driven by the expanding use cases for SMS and an increase in the number of companies using RCS. In the AI Transformation Business, results benefited from an increase in orders for large-scale AI customization projects. In the Marketing Solutions Business, the consolidation of 株式会社ロウプ contributed to results following its conversion into a subsidiary. In addition to higher revenue, the decrease in shareholder benefit program-related expenses incurred in the previous quarter contributed to the increase in operating profit.
