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 the expansion of the domestic interior business, improved earnings in the overseas business, price revisions, an improved product portfolio and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. The revenue shortfall against plan was due in part to weak demand in Japan. The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 incorporates higher raw material procurement costs, logistics expenses and personnel costs, as well as investment for the growth strategy.
