FY2027-H1First statedAnnual report
「In the medium-term management plan Create“ONE”28, which begins in fiscal 2026, the group plans to expand efficiency-enhancing investments in capital expenditure and DX investments in order to further expand its business domains and maintain and improve the management foundation needed for sustainable growth. In connection with the formulation of this plan, the group reviewed the actual use of its tangible fixed assets and the nature of its capital expenditure and determined that, given expectations of their long-term, stable operation against the backdrop of mature markets, the straight-line method, which allocates costs evenly over their useful lives, would more appropriately reflect the actual use of its tangible fixed assets.」
In connection with the plan to expand capital expenditure and DX investments under Create“ONE”28, the company changed its depreciation method for tangible fixed assets from the declining-balance method to the straight-line method effective from the beginning of the current interim consolidated accounting period. As a result of the change, operating profit, ordinary profit and interim income before income taxes increased by ¥252 million each during the current interim consolidated accounting period.
