The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to a rise in new contracts and higher revenue from the facial recognition and generative AI businesses. On the earnings side, costs were incurred from a higher cost ratio associated with the increase in new projects, higher labor costs, research expenses to strengthen facial recognition products, increased hiring and employee training expenses, and the cost of opening an employment facility for people with disabilities.
