non-marketable inventories
is a standard accounting term.
"Margins slashed
The installation of new automation systems in both the Netherlands
and Belgium resulted in substantially higher costs. On top of that, the
company made provisions for non-marketable inventories. As a result,
EBIT margin was slashed from 6.3% to 4.2%. Despite Eriks' aim to
return to EBIT margin of 7%, margins have steadily come down in the
last years (still 8.4% in 1995)."
