Items this document does not state (9)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Operating income increased mainly due to a ¥228 million earnings contribution from higher net sales, a ¥409 million earnings contribution from the 2.6-percentage-point improvement in the gross profit margin, and a ¥163 million decline in earnings due to higher SG&A expenses. Net income declined because no cross-shareholdings were sold and a provision for business structure improvement at a Chinese subsidiary was recorded.
