The reasons the company gives

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

The decline in interim-period revenue was due to the sale of consolidated subsidiaries and other factors. The downward revision to the full-year forecast reflects delays against the initial plan in securing orders in the Alternative Anime and AI-related businesses, resulting in performance falling below the business plan.
