The reasons the company gives

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

The Company shortened the plan period from 5 years under the previous plan to 3 years because it expects rapid changes in new technologies such as generative AI, as well as in related businesses and society more broadly. The shorter period will also enable the Company to actively make the investments needed for sustainable growth as growth investments.
