The reasons the company gives

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

Overall, development investment by major customers and demand for engineers remained solid, but utilization rates and the number of active engineers were below the same period of the previous year, due to some customers reviewing their development structures and taking a cautious stance toward increasing headcount. Meanwhile, engineering fees exceeded the same period of the previous year, reflecting negotiations to secure appropriate rates and initiatives to improve customer satisfaction.
