The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company explains that the fiscal year ending August 2026 is a transition period from standalone to consolidated accounting, and that quarterly comparisons have become difficult due to the treatment of the period covered by the EC company's consolidation. It also states that the decline in profit margin resulted from consolidating the EC company, which has a lower profit margin, and that it will pursue company-wide margin improvement by advancing PMI.
