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.Revenue growth was sluggish because the company restrained advertising spend in response to changes in advertising market conditions, while the launch of new products in wholesale sales was delayed. Operating profit increased due to more efficient advertising operations, cost reductions, lower outsourcing and personnel expenses through the use of AI, and fixed-cost reductions. Net income increased due to higher operating profit and the recognition of an SBIR grant.
