Items this document does not state (10)
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 company attributed the decline in operating profit in FY2025 to deteriorating overseas pulp and paper market conditions, lower domestic sales volumes and rising costs including logistics and labor expenses. The increase in net income was attributed to higher foreign exchange gains from the revaluation of foreign-currency-denominated receivables and payables, as well as higher gains on the sale of rental properties and held shares. For the expected increase in operating profit in FY2026, the company cited a recovery in pulp market conditions, particularly LBKP, the full-year impact of price increases implemented in FY2025 and the restructuring of low-profitability businesses.
