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 in the first half due to large-scale construction projects in the environmental engineering business and the consolidation effect of overseas subsidiaries, but operating income declined due to the processing of unprofitable projects at Schwing, low-margin projects and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. The full-year forecast was raised to reflect strong performance of existing products and new technologies in the overseas business, improved margins in the overseas business and improved profitability in the domestic environmental engineering business and other operations.
