Items this document does not state (5)
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.Budget adjustments to software investment in the automotive sector led to lower sales in the automotive-related verification business, centered on the US subsidiary. This was offset by strong demand for AI and digital transformation, an increase in high-value-added projects, and productivity improvement initiatives. As investment in the development of AI-related and strategic products was expanded, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded the increase in gross profit, resulting in lower operating income. In addition, the Company recorded a ¥41 million impairment loss on investment securities as an extraordinary loss due to a decline in the share price of its capital and business alliance partner, resulting in lower net income.
