Transcript of the Presentation at the 27th Management Plan Briefing

In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue and ordinary profit exceeded the year-earlier levels, while net income declined because there were no gains on the sale of shares. As operating profit is expected to significantly exceed the initial plan, the full-year forecasts for revenue, operating profit and ordinary profit were revised upward.

The reasons the company gives

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

The full-year forecasts were revised because operating profit is expected to significantly exceed the initial plan. Revenue and ordinary profit benefited from price revisions for maintenance services, new business and large-scale projects for ENE’s, while design services were affected by the number of new housing starts, the civil rehabilitation of a business partner and higher costs at the Chinese operations due to the weaker yen. Net income declined because the ¥71 million gain on the sale of shares recorded in the previous year was not recorded this year.
