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.Gross margin improved as the company focused on high-value-added services, increasing gross profit by ¥157 million. At the same time, the decline in bonuses absorbed the increase in salaries associated with the larger workforce. Expenses of ¥233 million related to the relocation of the Osaka head office and the opening of The Place Shimbashi, including rent, depreciation and amortization, and fees paid, weighed on profit. The shortfall in revenue against the initial forecast was attributed to large projects scheduled for the end of the fiscal year being pushed into the following fiscal year.
