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 increased due to the provision of attractive products and high-quality services, as well as a gradual recovery in market conditions. Gross profit increased on higher revenue and cost improvements, but operating profit declined due to higher personnel expenses and packing and transportation costs. Ordinary profit and net profit increased due to valuation gains on foreign-currency-denominated receivables and other factors.
