How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

For anyone who wants to understand Alumil Rom Industry's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from RON707k worth of unusual items. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. 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).
