Items this document does not state (14)
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.Lower unit sales were a factor behind the declines in revenue and operating profit. Ordinary profit increased because the impact of the foreign exchange loss recorded in the year-earlier period did not recur. For FY2026, the company expects the impact of the situation in the Middle East to reduce operating profit by ¥16.6 billion, but plans to absorb it through price pass-through, procurement negotiations, an improved sales mix, and cost reductions.
