The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The primary reason for the decline in profit was the increase in recruitment and training costs resulting from hiring approximately 100 people to establish the sales organization. In the energy business, the company was affected by Aoie's suspension of new sales activities, while outsourcing and the media platform supported revenue.
