The company explained that S&M implemented the “April Dream” initiative and entered into a partnership agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers, while R&D continued developing existing services. Jooto was affected by a partial reduction in a large-scale contract, while Tayori was affected by a slowdown in large BpaaS projects.
