Items this document does not state (9)
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 because existing facilities and facilities opened in the previous fiscal year performed steadily, while external sales of food ingredients by the welfare services and food service businesses grew. Operating profit increased due to improvements in sales operations and steady performance in the welfare services and food service businesses. Full-year forecasts were left unchanged because the opening dates for new facilities were pushed back, among other factors.
