These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

As job hunting has shifted earlier, some revenue scheduled to be recognized in the second quarter was recognized earlier, in the first quarter. Performance remained firm, led by the new graduate services, while company-wide use of AI improved operating productivity and restrained increases in personnel and outsourcing costs.
