The reasons the company gives

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

Factors cited as contributing to the declines in revenue and profit include fluctuations in web advertising rates, the loss of one-off revenue from slimming-related products, which performed strongly in the same quarter of the previous year, the termination of transactions and revisions to contract terms in the Solutions business, and the maturation of the performance-based advertising market. Meanwhile, growth in the number of contracts for DX services for beauty clinics and subscription-based services in the education sector supported the expansion of the industry-focused business.
