Reason for the revision

The company made progress in capturing DX-related demand, particularly in the AI field, winning high-value-added projects, deepening relationships with existing customers and developing new customers. In addition, profitability improved through higher margins on standard projects using AI-driven development, more sophisticated project management and quality control, and the early deployment of newly hired personnel. The revised forecast reflects an expense plan that incorporates expectations for continued improvements in the earnings structure during the second half, as well as strategic investment in hiring and business growth.

The reasons the company gives

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

The increase in sales was attributable to the company’s success in capturing DX-related demand, particularly in the AI field, winning high-value-added projects including AI development and AI consulting engagements, deepening relationships with existing customers and developing new customers. Profitability improved due to an increase in high-value-added projects, higher margins on standard projects through AI-driven development, more sophisticated project management and quality control, and the early deployment of newly hired personnel. The company expects improvements in its earnings structure to continue in the second half and has incorporated continued hiring and strategic investment aimed at business growth into its forecasts.
