The reasons the company gives

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

Business information such as SAM.gov registration and CAGE Code may be required to advance government and defense-related projects through formal procurement processes, and addressing these requirements had been an outstanding issue. The Company will use the registration platform established this time to advance existing projects and pursue new government procurement opportunities and customers.
