The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Net sales increased due to higher technical fees. On the profit front, higher cost of sales from continued investment in people and a higher cost ratio resulting from the lower utilization rate were factors behind the decline in profit. Compared with the initial forecast, the utilization rate increased more slowly than expected, resulting in the number of active personnel falling short of plan, while expenses were used efficiently.
