The reasons the company gives

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

Year on year for the fiscal year ended March 2026, the company explained that the main reason for the decline in revenue and profit was a decrease in subscription revenue, as substantial advertising spending in the first half failed to generate new customers or increase the number of contracts. Versus forecast, growth in bag sales and lower selling, general and administrative expenses were cited as the reasons revenue and operating profit exceeded plan. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company expects growth to be driven by shifting from dependence on advertising spending to a focus on CPA, developing the new service Rakumochi, and diversifying sales channels through inventory-system integration.
