The reasons the company gives

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

The main reasons were lower profit in the PS segment, lower fair values of operating investment securities related to certain investments, and higher costs associated with FA fees and head-office office optimization. In the payments business, results were affected by the cancellation of a major customer and revised terms, as well as higher fixed costs including depreciation and amortization, personnel expenses and security measures.
