Items this document does not state (15)
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, and for the three months from July to September alone, profitability improved as a result of revenue growth and control of selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses decreased by ¥13 million from the previous quarter through greater efficiency in advertising and promotion expenses and recruitment and training expenses. The company stated that it had not disclosed full-year forecasts for operating profit, ordinary profit and net profit because it is difficult to reasonably estimate the timing and amount of one-time M&A-related expenses.
