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 increased in the automotive market in China, to distributors in Europe, the U.S. and China, for AI-related equipment in Asia, and for industrial equipment in Japan. Higher sales, the weaker yen and controlled fixed costs pushed up operating income, while higher raw material prices reduced earnings. Net income also includes special factors such as ¥3.10 billion in compensation related to the relocation of a plant.
