Items this document does not state (6)
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 as the existing domestic distributor business remained strong against a backdrop of robust inbound demand, and Sankyo Shokucho, which joined the Group in September of the previous fiscal year, contributed to results. Operating profit increased as the higher gross profit generated by increased revenue absorbed increases in freight, packing and other costs.
