Items this document does not state (13)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the fiscal year ended March 2026, the negative effects of lower revenue, higher variable costs and model mix differences could not be fully offset by rationalization and lower fixed costs, resulting in a decline in operating profit. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, higher fixed costs, variable costs and depreciation are expected to weigh on operating profit, while the effects of higher revenue, rationalization and model mix differences are also anticipated.
