The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decrease in revenue was attributable to the withdrawal from certain publishing operations at the end of the previous fiscal year, among other factors. The decline in operating profit reflected efforts to strengthen initiatives targeting highly recurring projects, growth investment in becoming an AI media company, and a review of the business portfolio. Net income increased due to the recognition of deferred tax assets, including those arising from the succession of tax loss carryforwards in connection with the absorption-type merger of consolidated subsidiary Michael. The full-year forecast was revised based on progress through the third quarter and the growth investment policy for the fourth quarter.
