The reasons the company gives

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

The company explained that the third-quarter profit progress rate was temporary because spending on growth investments associated with structural reforms will be concentrated in the fourth quarter. It also said that transitioning from commissioned development to a stock revenue model centered on SaaS products and payment functionality will take some time.
