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 because unit sales remained solid and the average vehicle selling price rose. On the earnings side, the main factor behind the decline was higher selling expenses resulting from marketing investments carried out as planned, particularly spending on TV commercials.
