These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Business performance benefited from the expansion of AI development contracts and prime contractor projects driven by increased development demand related to generative AI, the end of the decline in engineering revenue caused by reduced staffing and an increase in projects, and progress in GPU server sales. Meanwhile, mining revenue remained sluggish due to the deterioration in crypto asset prices, resulting in a ¥23 million impairment loss.
