Items this document does not state (7)
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 the expanded scope of consolidation and solid orders across each business area. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher personnel expenses, research and development expenses, goodwill amortization and other factors, but the increase was absorbed by the effect of higher revenue and an improved gross profit margin.
