Items this document does not state (4)
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 decline in net sales was mainly due to lower revenue from the social infrastructure business. In the fishmeal business, a shortage of sardines for raw materials caused by global warming led to weaker performance than both the plan and the year-earlier period. Operating profit was weighed down by lower sales and higher SG&A expenses, while an improved gross margin provided support.
