Factors
1) Sales
-Sales increased year-on-year. Sales of truck components, the Company's major products, decreased due to the impact of both the slowing Chinese economy and political uncertainty in Thailand. This fall, however, was more than offset by an increase in domestic sales, which is attributable to the economic boost and a rise in consumer spending prior to the consumption tax hike in April 2014.
2) Profits
-Income decreased year-on-year in all three categories. Major reasons for the fall included soaring fuel and materials prices and the impact of the slowing economy in the ASEAN region following the completion of preferential tax treatment program in Thailand.
