Items this document does not state (10)
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.The company explained that it was unable to fully offset the effects of foreign exchange movements, one-off losses in the first half and higher raw material prices through its profit improvement drivers, and that the benefits from those drivers also fell short of the initial assumptions. The full-year profit forecast was therefore revised downward. The upward revision to the revenue forecast reflects firm demand conditions, particularly in industry-related markets.
