Why are corporations Q4 revenue usually worse than Q3?

Rhyme or reason for this trend?

One would think the public has more spending power or willing to spend due to the holidays (Q4).

Or due to more employees on vacation leaves etc. the rate of production slows down/not enough service staff?

Fiscal quarters don’t always align with calendar quarters (eg. Apple’s fiscal Q1 is Oct-Dec). And what companies are you looking at specifically? I guess some manufacturers and such could book their sales in calendar Q3 as they sell to retailers who intend to sell goods in calendar Q4.
