The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The number of new customers at the Company's large-scale events performed well, while selling, general and administrative expenses were kept under control through more efficient business operations. However, costs associated with the market-segment change, shareholder benefit expenses, higher cost of sales, the expansion of the Company's large-scale events, and growth investments in AI-related businesses weighed on operating income.
