Items this document does not state (11)
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 FY2025, reduced sales volumes of steel plates for construction, falling steel prices, and delays in the start of operations at the biomass power plant and Australian coal mine were factors behind the decline in profit. For FY2026, the company expects strong demand for machinery and equipment related to carbon neutrality, higher steel prices, a recovery in semiconductor equipment-related business, and a recovery in operations at the biomass power plant and Australian coal mine.
