The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The group reorganization has been completed, enabling a transition to a five-domain structure that includes 3 M&A transactions and the establishment of an AI business. The company says it is moving from the previous organizational restructuring phase to a phase of discontinuous growth under the five-domain structure. The decline in revenue in FY2026 was primarily attributable to the temporary loss of experienced sales personnel and upfront investment in 5 new businesses.
