The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Orders for iBow increased as awareness grew through free seminars and other initiatives, while the number of new customers for upselling and statutory training also increased. The increase in gross profit from cloud services and BPaaS contributed to operating profit, while strategic cost increases, personnel expenses, advertising expenses and other costs also rose.
