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.The factors cited for business growth were the expansion of the chargeable customer base following changes to the pricing structure, continued growth in new implementations, increasing demand for more sophisticated labor management and compliance with laws and regulations, a persistently low cancellation rate, and rigorous cost control. The operating margin target was pushed back because strategic investments of ¥160 million in AI-related initiatives and ¥130 million in security-related initiatives were prioritized.
