The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Under the previous medium-term management plan, the company was able to expand earnings and enhance corporate value. However, with external tailwinds including rising precious metals prices, strengthening the earnings base and creating new revenue sources remained ongoing challenges. FY2026 through FY2028 was therefore positioned as the period that would provide the foundation for long-term growth beyond that point.
