The reasons the company gives

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

Operational management under the regulations governing information systems and information security in the Japan region, particularly access management, had not been adequately implemented. This led to system disruptions caused by a cyberattack and delays in obtaining and verifying data related to financial reporting.
