The reasons the company gives

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

Progress was strong in the core Marketing DX business, particularly in outsourced web advertising operations. The company also worked to increase average customer spending by shifting from a SaaS model to an AI Agent model, while reducing SG&A expenses, including personnel and recruitment costs, through the use of AI and a focus on selected areas. The Technology business incurred upfront investments, but cost controls were advanced through measures including the use of manufacturing subsidies.
