The company said that in the fourth quarter, rapid changes in the business environment driven by the spread of AI left sales from conventional contract development in its engineering field below initial assumptions. Infrastructure sales offset the shortfall, lifting total sales above the previous forecast.

On profit, a higher sales share of relatively low-margin projects and slower-than-expected gains from in-house development and productivity improvements weighed on results, despite efforts to curb selling, general and administrative expenses. Ordinary and net profit were cut mainly due to lower operating profit.

The company said it will strengthen its AI and data science capabilities, shift to production and development systems premised on AI use, and tighten project-level profitability management. Prior-year EPS is calculated as if the 3-for-1 stock split effective Nov. 28, 2025, had taken place at the start of that fiscal year.
