The reasons the company gives

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

Focusing solely on profit margins could lead to a contractionary equilibrium in which sales are reduced to increase margins. Therefore, sales initiatives and profit-margin initiatives will be pursued as a package. The primary factor behind the decline in ROE was the decrease in the net profit margin on sales. The Company will first focus on raising the consolidated net profit margin to 3–4% and the operating profit margin to approximately 5–6%. It will also continue responding to the increase in the cost of capital resulting from higher market interest rates and the accelerating inflationary pressure caused by the worsening situation in the Middle East.
