The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue declined as the decrease in the number of students at the end of 2025 was reflected in the Language Solutions business. Operating profit increased due to greater operating efficiency through the use of AI, optimized personnel allocation, the completion of the intensified hiring phase, and reductions in costs such as outsourcing expenses and professional fees.
