The reasons the company gives

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

The three core businesses, PR and advertising, press releases, and direct marketing, performed strongly. In direct marketing, the reduction in advertising investment contributed to earnings. In HR, JOBTV on a standalone basis, which had been loss-making in the previous fiscal year, returned to profitability. In the investment business, increased share sales contributed to higher profit.
