Items this document does not state (7)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decline in revenue was due to construction progress falling below plan and the adoption of a sales policy focused on profitability in manufacturing and sales operations. The gross profit margin improved because the full-scale operation of the new execution budget system enabled the early identification and remediation of unprofitable construction projects. Net income declined because gains on the sale of fixed assets and other items were recorded in the previous fiscal year, while an impairment loss was recorded in the current fiscal year. The medium-term plan targets were revised because of increased cost burdens resulting from higher crude oil and energy prices against the backdrop of the situation in the Middle East and other factors, as well as significant changes in the business environment since the plan was formulated.
