These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Customers shifted their recruitment method from PMR to OMR, causing PMR revenue to fall sharply. In addition, the reversal of one-off demand recorded in the prior year contributed to the decline in revenue. Meanwhile, investments in new businesses, marketing and human capital were absorbed through SG&A optimization, including productivity improvements and the conversion of fixed costs into variable costs.
