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.In the House & Eco Business, sales were substantially below plan because large projects were lost or postponed and construction starts were delayed. In the Timber Business, manufacturing costs per unit increased as the volume of logs processed and the number of operating days at the plant declined. Across the company, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher headcount, base-pay increases and PC replacements.
