The reasons the company gives

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

The Company attributes the improvement in ROE to initiatives including securing orders, improving production efficiency and reducing costs. Regarding the background to PBR remaining below 1x, the Company cites the Group's susceptibility to trends in capital investment by major customers and market conditions, cautious market views of fluctuations in business performance, and the fact that it has not yet sufficiently raised expectations for medium- to long-term growth.
