The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Revenue increased on strong performance in onsite development support and contracted development. Revenue expanded as contract unit prices rose and the number of engineers, including business partners, increased. Other selling, general and administrative expenses declined following a partial review of the sales and production classifications, despite the incurrence of M&A-related expenses. The full-year forecast was left unchanged because the impact of M&A and business alliances on performance is still under review.
