Items this document does not state (11)
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.Sales increased due to demand for new hotel installations and replacements, strong sales of KING KOIL products, the opening of the Shin-Yokohama Gallery and Ligne Roset Umeda stores, strong sales of peripheral furniture, EC sales campaigns and the start of exports overseas. On the earnings front, factors contributing to the decline included higher raw material costs due to the situation in the Middle East and the weaker yen, a higher proportion of sales to commercial facilities with lower gross margins, expenses related to the opening of Ligne Roset Umeda, depreciation associated with the system upgrade and the provision for doubtful accounts.
