The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.While sales to corporate customers grew steadily, the number of individual customers at the beginning of the period was below the prior-year level, and net sales fell below the year-earlier period due in part to the characteristics of the recurring-revenue business model. The company also explained that the spread of generative AI has intensified competition in the individual customer market and diversified learning needs.
