How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

For anyone who wants to understand Tenmaya Store's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit was reduced by JP¥531m due to unusual items. While deductions due to unusual items are disappointing in the first instance, there is a silver lining. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. If Tenmaya Store doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.
