Items this document does not state (5)
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 through the provision of “richness, enjoyment and convenience,” the development of original products and improvements to sales methods. Although various expenses increased, the resulting pressure on operating profit was offset by higher gross profit. For the full-year profit forecast, the company expects intensified competition, higher product and material prices, and increased personnel expenses due to wage increases and higher social insurance contributions to put pressure on profit.
