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.Profit margins declined due to higher fixed costs from increased staffing ahead of the launch of the new gummy production line, higher material and fuel costs resulting from the situation in the Middle East, and increases in storage and delivery expenses, advertising expenses, personnel expenses, and expenses related to the new core system. Meanwhile, net sales increased on strong sales of gummy products, and gains on the sale of investment securities resulting from the reduction of cross-shareholdings were recorded as extraordinary income.
