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 due to expanded used-car transportation contracts, higher rates per vehicle, the acquisition of ZPM as a subsidiary, and the start of contracted on-site operations at 2 venues, including USS Tokyo. Operating profit was boosted by higher utilization of transportation equipment, a review of transportation routes, the effect of higher revenue, and the benefits of M&A, while higher personnel compensation and recruitment costs, system investments, and maintenance expenses were factors reducing profit.
