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 main factor behind the revenue decline was a slight decrease in the total data volume of the core EDI system, due to SKU reductions, larger product sizes and lower delivery frequency. In the next fiscal year, the company plans to roll out its existing EDI services more broadly, deepen data utilization and launch new services, while operating profit is expected to decline because of upfront investment in research and development for next-generation infrastructure and in new business areas.
