Reason for the revision

Revenue exceeded forecast due to increased usage in some projects, although the buildup in the number of active client companies fell slightly short of expectations. On the profit side, progress was made in reducing selling, general and administrative expenses, controlling costs in line with order intake, and optimizing advertising investment.
