These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.During the interim period, revenue growth was driven by expanding demand for entertainment (IP) and fan activities, the acquisition of large projects, and higher e-commerce sales. Profit margins improved as a result of strong sales on the DtoC site, which has relatively high margins. Assuming no change to the second-half forecast, the full-year forecast was revised upward to reflect one-off gains and losses, including M&A-related expenses, new system expenses, gains on the sale of securities, and insurance proceeds.
