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.The Human Resources and Education Business exceeded the plan by capturing solid demand. Meanwhile, profit was below the year-earlier level because deliveries of real estate properties are concentrated in the second half, while inventory shortages of products for sale in the Information and Communications Business contributed to lower revenue and earnings.
