Items this document does not state (3)
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.High plant utilization supported by the Semiconductor business's substantial order backlog, a recovery in the order environment in the second half, and steady performance in the Analytical Instruments business contributed to higher sales. Operating profit benefited from higher sales in the two core businesses, strong sales of in-house consumables and a higher proportion of high-margin projects.
