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 decline in the working-age population is limiting the traditional labor-intensive business model, while the market environment is changing significantly, particularly around AI. The existing business model has limited potential for future growth. In 2026, the company will make upfront investments in AI-related products, human resources and its sales organization as preparation for achieving growth from the following fiscal year onward.
