Items this document does not state (11)
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.Revenue increased due to higher sales volumes and price revisions for livestock feed. In the livestock feed business, higher earnings were supported by expanded sales of new products and milk replacers, increased sales of feed for pigs and cattle, and wider gross margins resulting from appropriate pricing. Meanwhile, earnings in the aquafeed business declined due to soaring fishmeal prices.
