The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.High-margin solutions, including Performance DMP, data management and data analytics, drove profit growth, while fixed costs such as server expenses were managed efficiently. The company also cited the screening out of unprofitable projects and data integration with Browsi to expand new offerings and improve delivery efficiency as factors behind Performance DMP's strong performance.
