The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The number of recurring-revenue users declined due to credit card billing errors resulting from stricter identity verification for subscriptions, as well as efforts to improve the cost efficiency of acquiring new subscription contracts. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher personnel expenses and upfront investments in new marketing initiatives, SEO measures and the operation of a new website. In the EdTech business, however, the loss narrowed due to sales contributed by クリエイト研究会 and the absence of M&A expenses incurred in the previous fiscal year.
