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 company attributed the increase in revenue and profit to long-term subscriptions and election-related projects in the IT Subscription Business; higher volumes of used PCs received and rising used-PC prices in the ITAD Business; and a recovery in travel demand and increased corporate orders in the Communication and Device Business. Higher costs from upfront investments were absorbed by the increase in profit.
