The reasons the company gives

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

Demand for PMO services remained strong, supporting new customer acquisition and the expansion of business with existing customers. Growth in the number of PMO consultants and higher average fees contributed to revenue, while the increase in revenue more than offset the rise in personnel expenses associated with the hiring of 169 new graduates, resulting in higher operating profit.
