The reasons the company gives

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

The company cited continued growth in cloud-based usage fees and firm orders for customer solution development in the Solution Services business. It attributed the decline in revenue and profit in the Systems Operations and Services business to fewer high-margin projects from the LY Corporation Group, and the decline in orders in the Support Services business to major customers bringing work in-house.
