The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.While FY2025 revenue was affected by longer construction periods and lower volumes, operating profit increased as a result of moving toward higher value-added products and services in the building materials business and strengthening value engineering and cost reduction proposals. The increase in capital allocation was primarily attributed to the consolidation of head office functions and the rebuilding of the IT infrastructure.
