The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased, led primarily by the new graduate services. In the new graduate services, higher unit prices resulting from the realization of recruitment benefits contributed to growth, while in the mid-career services, an increase in matches resulting from high-quality scout outreach and the Smart Interview feature also contributed. On the cost side, the company controlled costs, limiting expense progress to 22% against revenue progress of 27%.
