The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In addition to growth in the sports talent recruitment support business, リンドスポーツ, which was consolidated from the fourth quarter of 2025, boosted results. The effect of higher revenue more than offset increases in selling, general and administrative expenses, including personnel and advertising expenses, related to growth investments.
