Reason for the revision

Profit at each level from business profit downward fell below the initial assumptions due to lower utilization resulting from uneven staffing allocation, delays in the ramp-up of new projects, and costs associated with relocating offices, among other factors. Some of these factors are temporary, and profitability is expected to improve gradually from the second quarter onward.

The reasons the company gives

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

Profit at each level from business profit downward fell below the initial assumptions due to lower utilization resulting from uneven staffing allocation, delays in the ramp-up of new projects, and costs associated with relocating offices, among other factors. The company expects profitability to improve gradually from the second quarter onward, as orders remain solid and some of these factors are temporary.
