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.Higher sales in each business drove profit growth, while changes in the sales mix resulting from growth in the bottled water business, rising platinum prices for the electrode plates used in water ionizers, higher resin material prices resulting from rising crude oil prices, and increased investment in human capital to support business expansion were cited as factors affecting profit.
