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 and gross profit increased due to the recovery in sales of toric and multifocal lenses, expanded sales of the AirGrade series, and growth in cross-border e-commerce sales in China. Operating profit declined due to higher R&D expenses associated with clinical trials, personnel expenses resulting from workforce expansion and improved employee compensation, advertising expenses, and other costs. The Phase 2 plan for Building 4 was changed following a comprehensive review of progress on the production-capacity expansion plan and the efficiency of capital investment, in order to optimize the investment program.
