Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Net sales were affected by lower sales through existing channels, including mass retailers for apparel, despite solid advance orders for plastic films. Operating income increased due to the boost from the time lag between changes in selling prices and raw material prices for plastic films, improved profitability in the overseas business, and steady progress in the apparel business's structural reforms. Profit attributable to owners of the parent increased, mainly because the previous period included costs associated with structural improvements in the apparel business.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Although advance orders for plastic films remained solid, sales through existing channels, including mass retailers for apparel, declined. Operating income increased due to the boost from the time lag between changes in selling prices and raw material prices for plastic films, improved profitability in the overseas business, and progress in the apparel business's structural reforms.
