The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Operating profit for the fiscal year ended March 2026 increased due to rationalization and expense reductions, passing raw material price increases and energy costs through to selling prices, an improvement in foreign exchange gains and losses, and a decrease in refinancing-related expenses incurred in the previous fiscal year. The decline in revenue expected for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is attributable to the consolidation of U.S. production into a single plant, the transfer of the equity interest in the Guangzhou, China subsidiary, and a decrease in orders, among other factors.
