The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In addition to the modest 8.2% revenue growth rate, the increasing sophistication and complexity of AI software development projects led to greater use of development partners, increasing the cost burden. The change in the provisioning treatment for regular bonuses from Q1 of the current fiscal year also had an impact of approximately ¥20 million.
