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 revenue shortfall was attributable to a new service in the cashless business falling short of its target and lower sales from some existing customers. Operating profit exceeded the forecast because personnel expenses remained unspent due to delays in hiring. The year-on-year improvement in profit was attributed in part to the absence of the extraordinary loss recorded in the previous fiscal year and a lower tax burden ratio.
