The reasons the company gives

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

The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to growth in the in-house SaaS and hosting services of the usage-fee-related solution services business. Contract development was affected by the completion of a large-scale project, while support services were affected by the insourcing of operations by major customers and the completion of a large-scale support project. Reasons cited for revising the medium-term management plan included slower growth in the traditional stable business due to customer insourcing, the rise of AI, and delays in the M&A plan.
