Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue increased because revenue from the consulting and systems development business and the BPO & managed services business exceeded the previous year. Operating profit declined due to higher SG&A expenses arising from the application of AI and research and development for ACT-Horizon, higher outsourcing and personnel expenses, increased labor and outsourcing costs in the SES co-creation business, higher personnel expenses in the BPO & managed services business, and the recording of relocation costs for the Hamamatsu BPO Center.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue from the consulting and systems development business and the BPO & managed services business exceeded the previous year, while SG&A expenses increased 14.7% as a result of active investment in AI applications and research and development for “ACT-Horizon.” In addition, higher outsourcing and personnel expenses, increased labor costs, and the recording of relocation costs for the Hamamatsu BPO Center weighed on profit.
