The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.

Reason for the revision

Operating profit fell short due to the Asia business's failure to achieve the planned improvement in profitability in the fourth quarter, the Product business's failure to achieve its plan for earnings contribution from high-gross-margin new business areas despite offsetting lower gross profit in the Connected TV area with higher net sales, and the recognition of impairment losses on certain operating investment securities. Meanwhile, ordinary profit and net income exceeded the forecast due to an increase in equity-method investment gains resulting from IRIS's strong performance and a lower tax burden from the tax deductibility of office relocation-related expenses, among other factors.

The reasons the company gives

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

Operating profit is expected to fall short due to the Asia business's failure to achieve the planned improvement in profitability in the fourth quarter, lower gross profit in the Connected TV area of the Product business and the failure of new businesses to contribute earnings as planned, and the recognition of impairment losses on certain operating investment securities. Meanwhile, ordinary profit and net income are expected to exceed the forecast due to an increase in equity-method investment gains resulting from IRIS's strong performance and a lower tax burden from the tax deductibility of office relocation-related expenses, among other factors.
