The reasons the company gives

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

In businesses with long development cycles, such as products for the healthcare field, a conventional 3-year plan may show progress only through the stage at which planning and design have begun. The Company therefore adopted a 5-year plan to pursue its initiatives with an eye toward the goals for 2030 and beyond. The plan is also intended to resolve issues including dependence on specific businesses, dependence on automotive-related sales, and sluggish margin growth resulting from new investments and higher fixed costs, thereby achieving sustainable growth.
