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.In the processed foods business, the decline in sales volume and higher raw material and logistics costs outweighed improved profitability from price revisions and internal improvements. In the meat business, the decline in profit from domestic operations could not be fully offset by the solid performance of overseas operations.
