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.Large-scale total engineering projects in Japan and projects for desiccant dehumidifiers for batteries in China drove sales. Reasons for revising the full-year forecasts included stronger-than-expected sales of desiccant dehumidifiers for batteries in China, expected gains on the sale of investment securities and expected recognition of subsidies.
