The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the Game Business, several major projects progressed actively, while orders for additional work and the launch of new projects also contributed to higher revenue. The profitability of the major projects was also favorable. Net income attributable to owners of the parent increased partly because impairment losses on buildings and tenant relocation compensation expenses incurred in the same period of the previous year did not recur in the interim period under review. At the same time, the forecast was left unchanged because uncertainty remains regarding activity in the second half due to the temporary suspension of a development project with an overseas game company and the transition of multiple projects.
