This was due to the recognition of a ¥3,213 million loss on fair value measurement of Westfield Capital Management's earn-out liability and a ¥2,962 million impairment loss on goodwill and identifiable intangible assets related to Aplo. Some revenue also declined in the securities and digital asset businesses.
