Reasons for the differences
On March 12, 2026, the Company revised its performance forecast downward in light of the uncertain business environment at the time. However, as the global construction machinery market began to bottom out, sales both domestically and internationally performed well towards the end of the fiscal year. As a result, the Company was able to achieve results that exceeded its expectations at the time, and thus surpassed the previous forecast.
