The reasons the company gives

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

The company cited delays in the timing of orders in the construction segment, due to the administrative action, as one reason why revenue for the fiscal year ended March 2026 fell below forecast. In terms of profit, gross profit was maintained at approximately the previous fiscal year's level through thorough improvements in profitability, while ordinary profit and net income exceeded forecasts due to the recognition of non-operating income. The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 assumes a recovery from the impact of the business suspension order, rigorous cost management, and changes in the business environment associated with geopolitical risks.
