The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The decline in revenue was attributable to lower orders in the media business and sluggish growth in the number of appointments secured in the insurance agency business, which affected the number of new meetings. Losses improved due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and other factors. In addition, the ¥578 million in special investigation expenses and costs associated with corrections to prior-year figures was recorded as an extraordinary loss, significantly worsening net income and negative equity.
