The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The main factors behind the deterioration in performance were lower revenue because DX Solutions did not receive the large subsidy approved in the previous year, and aggressive investment in BIG ADVANCE GLOBAL. The Company explained that it received ¥349 million in Global South subsidies and that investment had largely run its course in the fourth quarter, resulting in a recovery in profitability.
