The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In addition to geopolitical risks and uncertainty in the trading environment, the Apparel Machinery business was affected by sluggish demand in South Asia and other parts of Asia and intensifying competition from Chinese peers, while the Automotive business was affected by intensifying price competition from Chinese EV manufacturers and shifts in shipment timing, all of which contributed to the decline in sales. Operating profit declined due to the substantial drop in sales, despite improvements in the cost ratio, lower expenses and foreign-exchange effects.
