Items this document does not state (13)
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.Sales were supported by gloves, air care products and other products. Operating profit declined due to higher raw material costs resulting from the situation in the Middle East, disposal and valuation losses, and increases in marketing expenses and other SG&A expenses. Net income increased due to a gain on the sale of investment securities. The downward revision to the medium-term plan reflected higher costs resulting from the worsening situation in the Middle East and other factors, as well as failure to meet the plan.
