The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although the contraction in PMR revenue and the impact of last year's special demand reduced earnings, profit was supported by the expansion of OMR revenue, development of new customers, digital transformation and productivity improvements, and SG&A optimization through the conversion of fixed costs to variable costs, absorbing ¥43 million in investment expenses.
