The reasons the company gives

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

Net sales increased as the live events, merchandising, and licensing and tie-up businesses expanded, while streaming revenue and sales through the company's own e-commerce platform were affected by changes in the talent lineup and community environment. Profit declined due to the disposal and write-down of slow-moving inventory, impairment losses on assets related to "Holoearth," and upfront investment to strengthen the growth platform.
