How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

For anyone who wants to understand TSUKADA GLOBAL HOLDINGS' profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from JP¥511m worth of unusual items. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).
