The reasons the company gives

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

The AsReader business was affected by delays in overseas sales projects, while the system integration business incurred costs for certain unprofitable projects and expenses related to the development of new product systems. The company says it is difficult to forecast the impact of US tariff policies, surging crude oil prices due to the situation in the Middle East, and foreign exchange volatility on its full-year forecast.
