The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the student-focused services, revenue increased by capturing demand for events for students graduating in 2028 and recruitment consulting. In the working-professional services, improvements in matching and other factors contributed to higher revenue. The decline in the Media and SaaS segment resulted from the suspension of the unprofitable training consulting service offered by TeamUp.
