Items this document does not state (11)
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.The shipping business was affected by weak steel demand, lower operating efficiency, cancellations and suspensions of charter contracts, sluggish transportation to China, and intensifying competition. In addition, higher costs, including persistently high fuel expenses, put downward pressure on operating profit. Meanwhile, the port operations business benefited from strong handling of imported food products and a favorable number of export customs clearance transactions, while the warehousing business returned to profitability in the Kobe area.
