The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the overseas IT talent business, the earnings structure improved through strengthening the organizational framework, focusing on higher-margin projects and reducing costs, including through office relocation. In the domestic IT talent business, greater operating efficiency through the use of generative AI and productivity gains achieved while limiting headcount growth contributed to results. At Seed Tech, growth in offshore development and other factors contributed.
