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 benefited from higher selling prices for imported meat and Australian beef, as well as growth in the consumer products category of the processed foods business. Business profit benefited from pricing and inventory management for imported meat, improved productivity in domestic chicken production, and increased attendance at sporting and entertainment events, while higher raw material prices, logistics costs and labor costs, together with the weaker yen, weighed on profits in some businesses. Net profit was affected by an increase in income tax expense.
