The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decline in operating profit for the fiscal year ended April 2026 was attributable to lower gross profit due to circumstances specific to existing major customers, higher personnel and recruitment costs, and higher advertising expenses. For the fiscal year ending April 2027, the Company expects lower gross profit resulting from changes in transaction flows in the securities industry and revisions to advertising methods in the professional services industry, as well as higher M&A-related and initiative implementation costs.
