The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.On a standalone basis, the decline following the large-scale projects undertaken in the same quarter of the previous year was offset by growth in the corporate and local government businesses. Subsidiaries grew, led by YOUGotaGift, while costs increased due to higher personnel expenses and higher cost of sales and SG&A associated with growth in transaction value.
