The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased in both the drone solutions and air traffic management segments. The wider operating loss was attributed to higher selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from organizational expansion to support growth, among other factors; the deterioration in adjusted operating profit was attributed to lower domestic UTM-related subsidy income; the ordinary loss was attributed to the absence of foreign exchange gains and the amortization of goodwill at an equity-method affiliate recorded in the previous year; and the net loss attributable to owners of the parent was attributed to the recognition of extraordinary losses, among other factors.
