The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although there was upfront investment in emerging e-commerce platforms in China, intensifying competition, and a downtrend in baby-care products in Asia, the company expanded its sales areas in India and other markets, launched high-value-added products, and advanced a broad product lineup and sales initiatives in Japan and overseas. On the earnings side, fire insurance proceeds of ¥5,274 million included in the same period of the previous year were no longer recorded, resulting in a decrease in other income.
