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.Coverage on television programs and social media, along with strong sales of chicken-related products, frozen vegetables and seasonal-event products, contributed to the increase in sales. Ordinary profit was boosted by a gain on the fair value of foreign exchange forwards, recorded as non-operating income due to the weaker yen.
