The reasons the company gives

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

In the Marketing DX business, advertising operations fees grew mainly, while tool usage, consulting and website production also performed well. In addition, personnel and recruitment costs declined through the use of AI and the selective allocation of human resources, while selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced. In the Technology business, development costs for projects such as RYUMA, which have not yet been monetised, weighed on results.
