Items this document does not state (8)
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.Sales of walk-behind lawn mowers and chainsaws to home improvement stores increased in the North American market, while sales of robotic lawn mowers contributed in Europe. Operating profit increased due to higher revenue and foreign-exchange effects. Ordinary profit and net income attributable to owners of the parent also increased, as the foreign-exchange loss recorded in the previous fiscal year turned into a foreign-exchange gain in the current fiscal year.
