The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the childcare business, revenue increased due to the opening of new licensed nursery schools and the launch of new after-school childcare operations. In the nursing care and welfare business, revenue was driven by new openings, M&A, and business acquisitions. In the staffing business, higher demand and progress in hiring coordinators contributed to revenue growth. Operating profit included ¥22 million in shareholder benefit expenses, but the company restrained various expenses, limiting the increase in expenses to below the rate of revenue growth.
