Items this document does not state (11)
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 full-year impact of domestic price revisions, an increase in foreign exchange gains from the revaluation of foreign-currency-denominated receivables and payables, and a decrease in business structure improvement costs contributed to the increase in profit. Meanwhile, the impact of the situation in the Middle East, Cenibra's extended SD, raw material and fuel price variances, and volume variances put downward pressure on operating income.
