The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The factors cited were growth in the Enterprise Business segment, the consolidation effect in the Consumer Business from making AIStep a subsidiary, and one-time expenses associated with M&A. MRR for the flier business struggled to grow in the first half due to downsells on large accounts and other factors, but was said to have entered a recovery trend by the end of the fiscal year.
