As housing starts for new homes remained weak, orders for building materials for new homes and renovations continued to fall below expectations, and the decline in profit resulting from lower sales could not be offset.

Items this document does not state (2)
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.Housing starts for new homes remained weak, and orders for building materials for new homes and renovations fell below expectations, so sales and profit are expected to fall short of the initial forecasts. Although the company pursued productivity improvements, greater operational efficiency, cost reductions and price negotiations, these efforts were insufficient to offset the decline in profit resulting from lower sales. For the full year, difficult conditions are expected to continue for building materials for new homes, while orders for renovation materials are expected to increase.
