Items this document does not state (13)
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.There was a one-off profit contribution from gains on the sale of investment securities. Operating income was lifted by higher profit in the Store Asset & Solution Business, higher profit in the Logistics & Food Processing Business, and an improvement in consolidated adjustments, while the Prepared Foods Business reported lower revenue and profit because consumers were more inclined to economize. In the Store Asset & Solution Business, the factors included higher recurring revenue from an increase in operating stores and the sale of one property. In the Logistics & Food Processing Business, the food processing, commissary and confectionery manufacturing divisions performed steadily.
