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 Company identified the expansion of the metal business through a business combination, higher sales volumes and unit prices for recycled solvents, higher handling volumes of fine chemical products, and progress on large-scale dismantling projects as factors driving profit growth in the first half. The upward revision to the full-year forecast reflects strong progress in fine chemical contract manufacturing and dismantling projects. The Company also explained that higher interest expense and a loss on disposal resulting from the demolition of part of the buildings at its head office plant would partially weigh on profit.
