The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the number of IDs for the PORTERS series, while operating profit benefited from revenue growth. The New Investment Business reported lower revenue and profit due to a decrease in offshore development projects for external customers. The reasons given for the group-company restructuring were securing development personnel and cost benefits for the Vietnam operation; higher costs due to rising prices for the Singapore company; failure by the atB Group to achieve monthly profitability and its revenue plan; the lack of a clear outlook for business expansion at Talentex Asia; and delays in the service launch at KIKAN flex.
