The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For the fiscal year ended June 2026, revenue growth was supported by the capture of resilient corporate demand for IT investment and growth in the business solutions, embedded solutions and systems sales businesses. Meanwhile, SG&A expenses increased due to investments in the development of AI and strategic products, research and development, and additional head office floor space. Net income attributable to owners of the parent declined due to the recognition of a ¥77 million impairment loss on investment securities.
