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 Solutions business, higher logistics outsourcing volumes, improved warehouse utilisation and a lower allowance for doubtful accounts burden in payment processing contributed to results. In the e-commerce business, the streamlining of unprofitable operations progressed. Interim net income was also affected by an extraordinary loss in the year-earlier period and an extraordinary gain in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
