The reasons the company gives

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

In addition to sluggish usage trends for the core fortune-telling content and chat fortune-telling services, recruitment and personnel expenses increased as the Data and Technology Business was strengthened, as did outsourcing expenses for system development. Consulting fees related to strengthening IR activities, ¥18 million in head office relocation expenses, and ¥62 million in interim shareholder benefit expenses also contributed to the decline in operating income.
