The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For the fiscal year ended March 2026, profit growth was driven by improved profitability in existing businesses, contributions from newly consolidated companies, and improvements in the kimono and jewelry, beauty, and Life Plus businesses. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue is expected to increase due to the full-year contribution from acquired companies, while the forecast incorporates the reversal of one-off effects in the kimono and jewelry business and higher amortization expenses associated with M&A.
