The reasons the company gives

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

The domestic market for standalone COVID-19 antigen testing kits contracted, wholesalers reduced inventories built up in the market during the year-earlier period, and sales volumes declined for both standalone COVID-19 and COVID-19/influenza combo testing kits. In Q3 alone, higher staffing costs and depreciation also weighed on operating profit.
