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.In the Food and Beverage Business, profits were adversely affected by a decrease in directly operated stores and a higher cost ratio resulting from soaring raw material prices. Company-wide expenses increased due to costs for upgrading the personnel system and provisions for bonuses, while gains on sales of property, plant and equipment recorded in the same period of the previous year declined. Meanwhile, the Wholesale and Logistics Business reported higher revenue and profits, driven by increased external sales and strong performance at subsidiaries.
