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.Sales were supported by products featured on television programs and social media, competitively priced products such as chicken-related products and eggs, and products related to seasonal events. Although snowfall in early February had an impact, product shipments exceeded the prior-year level. The substantial increase in ordinary profit was due to the recognition of valuation gains on currency forward contracts as a result of yen depreciation.
