The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

For anyone who wants to understand OmnisystemLtd's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit was reduced by ₩577m due to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Assuming those unusual expenses don't come up again, we'd therefore expect OmnisystemLtd to produce a higher profit next year, all else being equal.
