The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due mainly to growth in subscription orders for ZENMU Virtual Drive. On the earnings front, staffing increases in the sales and development divisions, higher personnel and external-resource costs, and increased research and development expenses to strengthen products were factors. The concentration of large projects in the fourth quarter was also cited as a factor behind the continuation of quarterly losses.
