In the initial prompt you are told "Combined with a significant increase in shipping costs, this led to a negative result for the first time"...and " Against the background of expected stagnating sales for the current financial year"

It's very important to listen carefully to the prompt for clues like this!

Hello there!

Totally agree with Ian, it´s listed in the prompt ;)

Best practice is to take notes of the different keywords you find as you read the prompt. If you do this, those would have been in there, "identified" alrady. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
