Items this document does not state (14)
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.First-half results were boosted by stronger trading gains from sharp foreign-exchange market movements, swap income from higher short-term interest rates on the Turkish lira, and increased financial income following the Bank of Japan's rate hike. The full-year forecasts were revised upward because the increase in operating revenue is expected to drive higher profit, while revenue projections for the second half are conservatively estimated, taking into account the possibility that low volatility will continue and Turkish short-term interest rates will decline.
