The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company cited weak sales activity in the media division, withdrawal from unprofitable projects, temporary upfront investment to expand the business from the next fiscal year onward, the rescheduling of certain large brand consulting projects, intensifying competition for digital marketing projects using generative AI, and costs related to regional revitalization demonstration projects. At the same time, it said that the increase in losses was contained through operational efficiency gains using AI and personnel cost reductions resulting from organizational restructuring.
