Reason for the revision

Revenue fell short of target because customer acquisition was below expectations owing to declining advertising effectiveness and restrained advertising expenditure. Fixed costs not linked to revenue were incurred, widening the difference in operating profit, while foreign exchange gains resulting from the weaker yen narrowed the difference in ordinary profit. Following a tax audit, the Company recorded ¥230 million in corporate taxes and other taxes for prior fiscal years.

The reasons the company gives

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

The Company restrained advertising expenditure in response to declining advertising effectiveness, resulting in customer acquisition below expectations and revenue falling short of target. Because fixed costs not linked to revenue were incurred as expected, the decline in operating profit was greater, while foreign exchange gains resulting from the weaker yen narrowed the decline in ordinary profit. In addition, the Company recorded ¥230 million in corporate taxes and other taxes for prior fiscal years following a tax audit, resulting in a deterioration in net income attributable to owners of the parent.
