Items this document does not state (10)
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 higher orders in the overseas business, particularly in China, while orders related to automobiles declined in Japan. Higher revenue, cost improvements and tighter control of selling, general and administrative expenses contributed to the increase in operating income. Net income declined due to the impact of the impairment loss on ASCe’s goodwill.
