The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.First-half operating profit was supported by a ¥1 billion gain on the sale of idle land in Georgia, US, as well as cost reductions from procurement optimization and productivity improvements. Second-quarter operating profit alone was weighed down by costs related to the closure of the Irwin plant in the US and organizational restructuring.
