The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue declined due to the reversal of ¥406 million in carryover revenue from prior fiscal years that was recorded in the same period of the previous year following a change in the revenue recognition standard. Operating profit was affected by the decline in revenue. Meanwhile, revenue from ZETA CX increased by ¥254 million, and retail media advertising and orders received grew.
