The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Demand, particularly for automotive and aerospace applications, began to recover. The company also worked to increase volumes, pass through price increases and implement strategic pricing, and improve costs, while foreign exchange translation differences at overseas subsidiaries also contributed. The first-half forecast was raised based on first-quarter performance trends and other factors.
