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 increase in sales was attributed to products being featured on television programs and social media, strong demand for products included in the "Monthly Specials" and "Bomb Prices" promotions, and solid sales of chicken-related products and frozen vegetables. The decrease in ordinary profit was attributed to the reversal of the gain on the prior year's mark-to-market valuation of foreign exchange contracts and a mark-to-market loss caused by the stronger yen in the current month.
