The reasons the company gives

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

Recurring revenue increased through the accumulation of MRR and the consolidation of インターゾーン, while gross margin also improved. However, SG&A expenses rose due to hiring and development investments for the AI Mobility OS strategy, as well as higher personnel and fixed costs associated with the consolidation of インターゾーン, putting pressure on operating profit. The increase in net income includes extraordinary income related to the acquisition of インターゾーン.
