The reasons the company gives

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

Some personnel expenses were transferred from SG&A expenses to cost of sales to review the classification of personnel expenses in connection with a review of the service domains and performance management units, thereby more appropriately reflecting the underlying business activities. Differences in performance by service area were attributable to capturing year-end demand, conservative forecasts, a decline in the number of employees and lower utilization rates, among other factors.
