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.Lower revenue from re-quest/QJ navi, re-quest/QJ agent and overseas training, among others, resulted in lower segment earnings than in the same period of the previous year. While the decline in gross profit weighed on operating income, ordinary income and interim net income slightly exceeded the forecasts for the cumulative second quarter due to control of selling, general and administrative expenses and the impact of foreign exchange, among other factors.
