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 Energy and Lifestyle Materials, maintaining and expanding handling volumes for petroleum products and chemical products contributed to higher profit. In Recycled Metals, securing stable transaction volumes and improved margins amid tight supply and demand conditions also drove profit growth. Steel was affected by lower progress on large-scale construction projects, Overseas Sales Subsidiaries by the trade environment, and Food by the postponement of the sales timing at certain overseas subsidiaries, resulting in lower profits.
