The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue declined due to the impact of sales from the electronic components business, which was discontinued at the end of the previous fiscal year, lower overseas sales of plastic films, and lower sales through existing channels such as mass retailers in the apparel business. Operating income and ordinary income declined due to inventory valuation losses in the apparel business, stagnant sales in China and higher fixed costs, while net income was affected by restructuring expenses for the apparel business and other factors.
