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.Higher value-added oral healthcare products and services progressed in Japan and overseas, the newly consolidated companies in Vietnam and Australia contributed, and changes in the business portfolio mix contributed to higher gross profit. In Japan, selling, general and administrative expenses increased as the Company made proactive investments in advertising and promotion, mainly in oral healthcare.
