The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The first-half upside was driven by growth in the detached housing segment and raw materials and auxiliary materials sales. In raw materials sales, the development of new customers and expansion of the customer base, together with a temporary increase in demand stemming from the situation in the Middle East, contributed to results. In auxiliary materials, inquiries to the company increased against a backdrop of supply shortages. The delay in the waterproofing segment was due to project construction being pushed back to the second half as a result of delays in preceding processes and supply constraints for related materials stemming from the situation in the Middle East.
