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.Business profit benefited from pricing measures for gas and other products, as well as the semiconductor-related and disaster-prevention businesses, but was weighed down by stagnation in India, North America and UPS, and deteriorating helium market conditions. The deterioration in operating profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent was due to non-recurring factors, including ¥108.0 billion in impairment losses on goodwill and fixed assets, and ¥13.0 billion in investigation-related expenses.
