The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.BRO-ROOM and BRO-WALL progressed as expected, and NCK's profit and loss was consolidated from July, driving the increase in revenue. At NCK, however, sales were delayed as customers held back on purchases amid interest-rate trends, and a loss on the sale of receivables associated with receivables securitisation was recorded as a non-operating expense.
