The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Profit was boosted by strong growth in the number of new customers for the company's large-scale events, higher revenue resulting from the success of new events, optimization of advertising and promotion expenses and fixed costs, and the effect of higher revenue. Conversely, profit was weighed down by higher cost of sales, expenses related to the shareholder benefit program, expenses related to the market-segment change, and investment expenses for the AI-related business.
