Items this document does not state (7)
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 increase in operating profit was attributable to higher gross profit accompanying the increase in revenue, as well as decreases in personnel expenses, outsourced personnel expenses and advertising expenses. Because temporary flow-based revenue increased in the year-earlier period, the revenue growth rate declined.
