The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the TikTok Shop business, the expansion of logistics facilities, the introduction of AI agents, and increased staffing accompanying the strengthening of its support structure have driven growth in brand orders and creator registrations. The full-year forecast remains unchanged because it was prepared without including revenue or profit from new brand projects that have not yet been secured, while also taking into account the business's tendency to expand in the second half of the fiscal year. For エンブルーム, the Company is working to reduce fixed costs and control excess inventory.
