The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.While higher revenue from TSD drove overall revenue growth, a pullback in CPD, increases in personnel and recruitment costs, and temporary increases in company-wide SG&A expenses, including M&A-related expenses, contributed to the decline in operating profit.
