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 increased due to the expansion of sales channels, improved profitability at existing stores, new store openings, a review of the products manufactured and production structure in the processing business, and sales and purchase agreements for solar power plants in the renewable energy business. Meanwhile, higher raw material prices and labor costs increased selling, general and administrative expenses and the cost of sales, while profitability did not improve in the purification business and other operations.
