The reasons the company gives

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

Lower revenue due to service suspensions and the phased recovery following the ransomware attack; a temporary decline in gross profit margin resulting from the largest promotional campaign to date; costs to maintain the logistics infrastructure during the service suspension period; a temporary decline in operating efficiency at logistics centers as priority was given to restoring service levels; and lower delivery efficiency due to a decline in revenue per box.
