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.Operating income was affected by a ¥260 million negative volume variance, a ¥1.02 billion positive unit-price variance and a ¥920 million negative fixed-cost variance. Net sales declined, mainly because of lower volumes of basic chemicals. The increase in net income was attributed to improvements in extraordinary gains and losses, including a ¥879 million gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment and ¥337 million in government subsidies.
