Items this document does not state (17)
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.Revenue increased due to expanded sales activities in each sector, as well as the consolidation effects of Reframax and Dynamix. On the profit side, higher raw material and fuel costs in the refractories sector, equipment problems at Gouda and SAM, and the postponement of Reframax's large construction projects to the second half, together with higher costs, were factors behind the decline in profit. Interim net profit increased due to a gain on the sale of fixed assets by an Australian subsidiary.
