The reasons the company gives

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

Cell therapy services stagnated due to tighter regulations and the implementation of ordinances in China, while demand for and sales of OEM culture media for China declined. Demand related to cell therapy also fell as the number of patients visiting Japan from China decreased. Profitability remained a challenge in the cell processing business, where contract cost of sales exceeded contract revenue.
