well i am not absolutely sure but the rising graph shows bond formation and the second half shows bond breaking.  The energy of products being less than that of reactants shows that the net energy has decreased which proves it to be endothermic. 
Therefore the reaction  first releases heat and then absorbs heat more than it has released.

Also remember that Bond Formation release energy and bond breaking takes up energy
