The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In BtoB commerce, both the number of active users and ARPU increased, while BtoC commerce revenue declined due to a decrease in the number of stores, and HR revenue declined due to a decrease in the number of placements. The deterioration in EBITDA was attributed to lower HR revenue and increases in logistics costs, shipping-related expenses and personnel expenses.
