- “The ultimate parent company decided to suspend YKK Russia's operation in mid-March 2022 without setting any deadline due to the high uncertainty of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. There is no longer any management service fee being charged to YKK Russia and its liquidation has been completed in April 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
