Reason for the revision

Orders and the sales plan for the advertising business are expected to fall short of the assumptions made at the beginning of the fiscal year, and revenue is expected to be below the previous forecast. However, the gross profit margin is expected to improve as the sales mix shifts toward higher-margin businesses, while operating profit and other figures are expected to exceed the previous forecast due to cost reductions and revisions to the planning and implementation timing of certain expenses. Interim net income is also expected to exceed the previous forecast due to the recognition of adjustments to corporate income taxes related to tax-effect accounting.

Previous-period resultsNet Sales ¥1,554 million / Operating profit ¥97 million / Operating profit before amortization of goodwill and other items ¥104 million / Ordinary income ¥101 million / Interim net income attributable to owners of the parent ¥40 million / Interim net income per share ¥2.65

The reasons the company gives

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

Orders and the sales plan for the advertising business are expected to fall short of the assumptions made at the beginning of the fiscal year, and revenue is expected to be below the previous forecast. However, operating profit and other figures are expected to exceed the previous forecast, owing to an improvement in the gross profit margin resulting from the higher sales mix of high-margin businesses, as well as cost reductions and revisions to the planning and implementation timing of certain expenses. Interim net income is also expected to exceed the previous forecast due to the recognition of adjustments to corporate income taxes related to tax-effect accounting.
