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 said that, in the first half, revenue in its core market recovered in the second quarter through orders for replacement projects after declining in the first quarter due to a lack of large-scale projects. In peripheral markets, however, revenue declined as it remained difficult to win new projects for patient apparel. On the profit side, the company cited higher costs for raw materials, labor and overseas logistics, as well as the impact of foreign exchange movements.
