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.Gross profit increased by ¥523 thousand due to higher net sales, the passing on of higher costs arising from inflation, a focus on highly profitable projects, and improved cost management. Meanwhile, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by ¥380 thousand, mainly due to higher personnel expenses. For the FY2026 forecast, orders received have been reduced from the medium-term target because the medium- to long-term market outlook is uncertain, while operating profit is expected to be maintained.
