Items this document does not state (10)
Ordinary incomeBreakdown of Factors Affecting the ChangeNumber of stores and locationsAssumptions Underlying the Business OutlookRisk amount incorporated into the outlookPayout ratioAcquisition of treasury sharesCapital expendituresOrders received and order backlogKey points of the Q&A

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 downward revision to the revenue forecast reflects the discontinuation of the Jooto business and expectations that revenue from other services and consolidated subsidiary NAVICUS will fall below the original plan. The profit forecasts were left unchanged because costs associated with discontinuing the Jooto business are expected to decline and expenses across the group have been reviewed.
