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.Revenue grew across all businesses, but profit was pressured by upfront investments based on the growth strategy, delays in opening and commencing operations at Kashiwa FC, a decline in gross margin due to split shipments, and higher material and personnel costs. In FY2026, the Company expects to reduce the SG&A ratio by executing the growth strategies of each business and controlling logistics-related costs.
