Items this document does not state (5)
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.Net sales benefited from strong shipments and sell-through, mainly of new domestic insect control products, the consolidation of Protoleaf in the gardening products business, higher overseas sales, and an increase in the number of Comprehensive Environmental Hygiene contracts. Operating profit exceeded the plan due to an increase in gross profit from higher sales, an improved gross profit margin resulting from the shift toward higher-priced products, and selling, general and administrative expenses coming in below plan. The year-on-year decline in net income attributable to owners of the parent was affected by the special gain of ¥349 million recorded in the previous year, among other factors.
