Update on Initiatives to Achieve Management Conscious of Capital Costs and Share Prices

Although ROIC and PBR improved in FY2025, the cost of capital increased as a result of higher beta and interest rates, and ROE and ROIC fell below the cost of capital. The FY2026 revenue and operating profit targets, which apply to the final year of the medium-term management plan, have been raised from the previous targets.
