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.The stated factors include higher revenue and profit from real estate sales in the Store Asset & Solution Business, higher revenue in the Logistics and Food Processing Business because the consolidation period for Hosoya Corporation extended from 3 months in the previous fiscal year to the full year under review, and improved cost resilience in the Prepared Foods Business. The increase in goodwill amortization expense was cited as a factor behind the decline in operating profit in the Logistics and Food Processing Business.
