The reasons the company gives

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

In response to intensifying competition in the food delivery market, concentration among major platforms, and rising costs of building an in-house delivery network, the Company decided to change its policy for the delivery business and to pursue the selective allocation and concentration of management resources under the new medium-term management plan. In addition, in anticipation of a contraction in the domestic market, the Company intends to make its overseas business a driver of earnings diversification and medium- to long-term growth.
