The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
Production costs increased more than anticipated due to the continued surge in raw material prices, mainly for naphtha-derived materials, resulting from the prolonged situation in the Middle East, as well as the continued depreciation of the yen and other factors. Although the company will work to improve profit through further cost reductions and selling price revisions for the full year, it is revising profit downward due to the impact of the revision to the interim-period forecast and expectations that raw material prices will remain elevated.
