The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company explained that value pass-through, growth in high-value-added products, the effect of higher revenue, improved production efficiency and improvements related to raw materials boosted profit, while increases in logistics costs, promotional expenses, advertising expenses, personnel expenses and development costs weighed on profit. The decline in profit attributable to owners of the parent was attributed to temporary factors, including the reversal of the tax benefit associated with insurance proceeds recorded in the previous year.
