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.Gross profit increased with revenue growth, but operating profit declined slightly due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from growth investments. Specific factors included increases in personnel expenses, research and development expenses, and fees paid, including recruitment expenses and SOSEI commissions. The gross profit margin also deteriorated slightly due to higher material prices attributable to the situation in the Middle East and higher outsourcing costs.
