Items this document does not state (9)
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 quantitative expansion and the shift toward higher value-added products in the Biomaterials Business, the acquisition of new customers and a higher transaction ratio with existing customers in the Resource Recycling Business, and growth in environmental consulting services in the Other Business. Operating profit benefited from higher revenue across the businesses, while personnel expenses, depreciation and amortization, cost of sales, and administrative and transportation costs increased. The decline in net income was due to the reversal of the insurance cancellation refund recorded in the previous fiscal year.
