Fluctuations in material prices and interest rates
Delays in 3D-printing technology demonstrations and certification
Uncertainty in overseas operations
Difficulty securing personnel and shortages of specialized talent
Natural disasters, infectious diseases and other events
Reason for revision or withdrawal

The company examined changes in the market environment and the challenges, and reflected the findings in its next growth strategy. External factors were higher material and labor costs, higher mortgage rates, and the continued decline in new housing starts. Internal factors were the difficulty of differentiating My Home Robo's standalone functions amid the rapid evolution of generative AI, more cautious investment decisions by prospective IP licensee companies, and an approximately one-year delay from the original plan to commercialize and launch 3D-printed homes.

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

Because the company examined changes in the market environment and the challenges that led to the previous medium-term management plan falling short of its targets, and reflected the findings in its next growth strategy. External factors included higher material and labor costs, higher mortgage rates, and a decline in new housing starts. Internal factors included the difficulty of differentiating My Home Robo, more cautious investment decisions by prospective IP licensee companies, and delays in commercializing and launching 3D-printed homes.
