The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The battery storage business is in its first year of full-scale operations, and the earnings forecast is based on assumptions that are conservative to a certain extent. Financially, the company explained that it is funding M&A and the development of grid-scale battery storage facilities through bank borrowings and making growth investments exceeding operating cash flow, making it difficult to increase its equity ratio.
