Reason for the revision

In the airport ground handling business of the Airport segment, the deterioration in Japan-China relations resulted in a reduction in international flights from China from November 2025 onward, leading to lower revenue from customer companies and a decline in staff utilization, among other effects.

The reasons the company gives

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

In the airport ground handling business of the Airport segment, the deterioration in Japan-China relations led to a reduction in international flights from China from November 2025 onward, resulting in lower revenue from customer companies and a decline in staff utilization, among other effects. The full-year forecast remains unchanged because the timing of an improvement in Japan-China relations and the timing of a return to normal conditions in the Middle East remain uncertain.
