The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company cited the continued listing of high-quality projects as a result of acquisition initiatives focused on the gadgets and consumer electronics categories, the increase in monthly project value driven mainly by large-scale projects, and top-line growth. SG&A expenses increased due to base-pay increases following the semiannual performance review, higher maintenance-related development expenses, and upfront investment.
