The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The reasons given for the business expansion were that BRO-ZERO reduces the upfront investment burden on real estate owners, demand for conversion to accommodation facilities and private lodging, inbound tourism demand, orders and project completions for large-scale repair projects initiated in prior periods, and the use of the agency network. It was also explained that BRO-ROOM and BRO-WALL have relatively low gross profit margins, creating a possibility that the overall gross profit margin will decline as their contribution to the product mix increases.
