The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Consolidated pretax income deteriorated due to a decline in the fair value of operating investment securities related to certain GII investee companies, the impact of the cancellation and revised terms of a major customer in the PS payments business in the previous fiscal year, and corporate adjustment items including financial advisory fees and head office office-space optimization costs.
