The reasons the company gives

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

In the railway business, the recovery in passenger numbers and the fare revision implemented in the previous fiscal year contributed to results. In the bus business, proactive sales activities, including chartered transportation services, and fare revisions contributed. In the taxi business, increased demand from Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, the full-scale launch of new community transportation services, and fare revisions contributed. Meanwhile, the real estate business was affected by temporary expenses associated with acquiring new properties, while the retail business was impacted by lower earnings due to consumers holding back on purchases amid surging energy and food prices.
