The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Lower sales in China due to weak consumption and a decline in the operating margin in the Netherlands due to higher raw beef prices weighed on subsidiary performance. Domestic sales, however, remained strong, and higher standalone revenue and lower-than-expected cost increases boosted operating profit. The decline in net income was due to higher derivative valuation losses and lower foreign exchange gains, among other factors.
