Reason for revision or withdrawal

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.
