The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Following a series of matters involving the representative director, some prospective new customers and implementation candidates became more cautious in conducting compliance checks and internal reviews, delaying new implementations and orders. In addition, personnel expenses increased as hiring was strengthened, while investments in system development, including the new product “Linkers TX,” were brought forward.
