Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

New wholesale businesses, consolidated subsidiaries, and operations for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai contributed to results. These were offset by sluggish orders for sales-related sales support, the completion of digital sales support projects, and the airport business's fiscal year-end change, higher costs, and reduced international flights.

The reasons the company gives

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

New wholesale businesses, 株式会社津森千里デザインスタジオ, and operations for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai contributed to results. However, orders for sales-related sales support remained sluggish, while revenue from digital sales support declined following the completion of projects. In the airport business, revenue declined due to a change in the fiscal year-end, costs increased to secure ramp equipment and personnel, and international flights were reduced due to deteriorating Japan-China relations.
