The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decline in revenue was mainly due to a reduction in advertising unit prices for online medical consultations by a major customer in the previous fiscal year. Gross profit edged up as the surge in media costs in the lending and card businesses in the previous fiscal year subsided, while operating profit increased due to reductions in advertising expenses. Profit attributable to owners of the parent declined due to a temporary tax-rate difference.
