Items this document does not state (19)
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 on strong sales of new products, particularly the Studio series, strong European sales and the stronger euro, and signs of recovery in North America. Operating income turned profitable due to improved gross profit and the effects of structural reforms, including fixed-cost reductions and expense controls. An expected ¥120 million VAT assessment for prior fiscal years arising from a tax audit of a European subsidiary was recognized as an extraordinary loss, resulting in a quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥30 million.
