The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Employment support revenue increased due to the effect of facilities opened in the previous year and higher utilization at existing facilities. In child welfare, facility utilization stabilized as services returned to programs centered on shorter sessions, resulting in higher revenue and profit in line with the plan. The platform business accelerated its pace of acquiring new contracted establishments, while the overseas business achieved higher revenue and profit due to DDCN's full-year contribution. At the same time, the company invested in marketing, talent development, strengthening corporate culture and new businesses.
