The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue was lower because projects took longer than initially expected to materialize while the Company made upfront investments in rebuilding its sales processes and enhancing its proposal activities. Operating profit benefited from a review of the client portfolio and efficiency gains from the use of AI, although the Company also invested in development, including LIFT Engine, and the benefits of cost reductions have yet to be fully realized.
