The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

In the fiscal year ended March 2026, lower SG&A expenses, the implementation of appropriate pricing, cost reductions and productivity improvements boosted earnings. Meanwhile, lower demand, a slowdown in EV demand, adjustments by certain customers and higher costs for raw materials and energy contributed to the decline in revenue and earnings. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the Company expects uncertainty and higher costs in procuring fuel and raw materials due to the situation in the Middle East, as well as an impact from construction to upgrade bottling equipment.
