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.As a result of continuing growth investments in the BtoC business and other areas, advertising expenses increased by ¥1.7 billion year on year. Although gross profit increased by ¥1.4 billion, higher advertising expenses, research and development expenses, and other SG&A expenses put downward pressure on operating profit.
