The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company cited the impact of temporary costs associated with structural reforms in Japan and overseas as one reason why ROE before goodwill amortization fell short of target. It views the factors behind the ROE shortfall as non-recurring and will work to improve capital efficiency through profit growth.
