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.The House & Eco business experienced lost orders, postponements of large-scale projects and delays in construction starts, while sales in the heavy-gauge steel segment remained sluggish. In the timber business, lower log consumption volume increased manufacturing costs per unit. Company-wide SG&A expenses increased, mainly due to higher personnel costs resulting from increased staffing and base-pay increases.
