The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased due to growth in the consolidated PayPay business and the consolidation of BEENOS and LINE MAN CORPORATION PTE. LTD. as subsidiaries. Although selling, general and administrative expenses increased, primarily due to higher promotional expenses, personnel expenses, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA increased as a result of higher revenue. The primary factor behind the increase in operating profit was the recognition of a gain on remeasurement arising from the business combination associated with the consolidation of LINE MAN CORPORATION PTE. LTD. as a subsidiary.
