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 fell below the plan for the fiscal year ending March 2026 because upselling proved difficult, reflecting a decline in the number of students from the graduating class of 2025 who received job offers. Operating profit, meanwhile, met the plan as a result of adjusting the timing of marketing investments, improving products, enforcing investment discipline, and controlling costs. The Company also revised its operating profit growth target from an annual rate of 20% or more to 20% or more versus the previous fiscal year's plan, in order to eliminate the impact of fluctuations in single-year results and focus on the medium- to long-term growth trend.
