Items this document does not state (16)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The earnings forecast was exceeded because memory supply and demand tightened and prices rose in the semiconductor-related market due to production being concentrated on products related to generative AI, and because the Digital Devices segment continued to perform strongly. The impairment loss resulted from a conservative valuation following a review of the business plan, as progress in 株式会社ブレーン's business fell behind the initial plan. The gain on income taxes—deferred resulted from a review of the recoverability of deferred tax assets in light of business performance and the outlook for future performance.
