The reasons the company gives

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

Operating income and ordinary income increased because, although revenue declined following the transfer of the engage business, the reduction in personnel and advertising expenses resulting from structural reforms exceeded the decline in revenue. Net income increased due to the recognition of an approximately ¥4.8 billion gain on the sale of shares in an affiliate associated with the transfer of the engage business.
