Items this document does not state (9)
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 Living Environment segment performed well in repair and reinforcement work and renovation work for detached houses. In the Resource Recycling segment, results benefited from higher electricity sales volumes due to stable power plant operations, higher electricity selling prices, lower repair costs, and an improvement in plastic fuel inventories. The Energy segment reported lower sales and operating income due to changes in the solar power generation market environment and intensifying competition.
