The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For the fiscal year ending June 2026, operating profit fell below plan because upfront investment associated with launching new businesses and building the sales organization exceeded expectations. Meanwhile, the upfront investment is broadly complete, and the company expects the associated burden to decline from the fiscal year ending June 2027 onward. Against a backdrop of lower software development costs and shorter development periods resulting from advances in generative AI, the company is also shifting its strategic focus toward developing its own products.
