Items this document does not state (7)
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.Although orders for the China automatic transmission business declined as sales of gasoline-powered vehicles made in China fell, revenue edged up on the weaker yen, the pass-through of higher selling prices for core business products to customers, and increased sales of new business products and aftermarket products. Operating profit declined due to higher R&D expenses related to the creation of new businesses, an increase in unrealized gains from inventory accumulation associated with expanding aftermarket product sales through overseas distributors, and the impact of lower orders and fluctuations in purchase prices. In addition to the decline in operating profit, net income was affected by equity-method losses related to growth investments.
