The reasons the company gives

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

The decline in revenue was described as a temporary effect of recognizing some hardware sales earlier than planned in connection with the shift toward a software-focused business. In terms of operating profit, the difference in the timing of receipt and recognition of a European R&D subsidy recorded in the previous fiscal year amounted to ¥48 million. In terms of ordinary profit, the year-on-year difference in foreign exchange losses from the valuation of intercompany receivables and payables amounted to ¥148 million.
