Items stated in the management plan
Partially revisedEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. For metrics expressed as percentages, differences are shown in percentage points (pt).
Since the plan was formulated, the business environment has become more challenging than assumed at that time. In the new-build bridge market, order volumes are below plan because of higher construction costs, while recovery in the market for small and medium-sized factories and warehouses, the primary target market for the system-building business, has been delayed. Revenue is expected to remain at the initial target through the incremental revenue effect of M&A, but existing businesses are expected to see lower profit as conditions in the bridge business deteriorate. Accordingly, operating profit, ROE and EPS have been revised.
