The price has been high since the beginning of the year. The operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending 24/3 has been revised upward from the previous 261 million yen to 496 million yen (previous fiscal year results 202 million yen). This is because sales are expected to exceed plans due to an increase in order acceptance projects, and labor costs and recruitment-related costs have decreased from expectations. Decrease in usage fees and license fees for external services, and the fact that the performance of companies applying the equity method is expected to exceed the initial plan due to an increase in projects are also factors that increase profits.
