The reasons the company gives

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

The recovery in Media Services, the return to profitability of the SaaS business, and improved cost efficiency from AI-driven development in the DX business drove profit growth. In the Medical business, higher customer acquisition costs were a factor behind the decline in profit. In the Broadband business, higher advertising and customer center costs associated with subscriber acquisition reduced profit.
