Items stated in the management plan
Annual updateEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. For metrics expressed as percentages, differences are shown in percentage points (pt).The increase shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the amount of growth.
The medium-term target ranges for gross margin and OPEX ratio were changed from the previous disclosure to reflect trends in the fiscal year ending March 2026. Gross margin fell short of the previous forecast because of a decline in HR's share of revenue, which has a high profit margin, and higher costs due to inflation. Meanwhile, the OPEX ratio met the previous forecast as a result of disciplined business operations.
