Items this document does not state (14)
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 company cites a decline in contribution margin due to product mix differences in the first half, unrealized inventory gains, and higher depreciation and amortization as factors behind the decline in operating profit. Conversely, lower fixed costs, foreign exchange effects, and fluctuations in raw material and fuel prices are cited as factors supporting profit.
