Items this document does not state (11)
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 additional man-hours required to strengthen the design-check system were absorbed through productivity improvements, resulting in higher net sales. Operating profit declined because the provision for business compensation and other items, calculated using the average values for the past 3 years, increased due to the impact of design-defect projects that arose in 2025. The decline in orders received was due to the reversal of the prior-year booking of a ¥3,120 million large project under a 10-year contract, as well as a shift in the timing of project recognition.
