The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The environmental energy business is expected to generate synergies from the integration of 高橋汽罐工業, while the Vietnam expansion has been delayed due to factors including equipment delivery lead times. In addition, because investments in personnel and costs for launching the Vietnam plant are being incurred upfront, the company is prioritizing the development of a foundation for future growth over near-term profit growth.
