The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The main reason for the decline in revenue and shift to an operating loss was the absence of ¥1,024 million in revenue from the sale of fund investments recorded in the same period of the previous year. The company also cited sluggish growth in new contracts in its organizational consulting business and upfront investment in team strengthening in its sports and entertainment business.
