The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The revenue shortfall was mainly attributable to the persistently high proportion of employment placement services, which generate lower recognized revenue, and the utilization rate of the regional revitalization business falling below expectations. Profit targets were achieved mainly because the company controlled selling, general and administrative expenses, including advertising expenses, and because the timing of some upfront investments shifted to the next fiscal year.
