The reasons the company gives

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

The primary factors behind the decline in profit were the timing shift in North American projects and upfront investments, including increased staffing, in the North America segment. In Japan, earnings improved through higher gross profit despite a decline following the completion of existing projects.
