Reason for the revision

For 300mm wafers, demand is expected to grow for leading-edge logic products and DRAM related to AI, as well as NAND for server SSDs. However, customer inventory normalization for non-leading-edge logic products is expected to continue, while demand for 200mm and smaller wafers is expected to remain sluggish. As part of its business structural reforms, the company will advance the upgrading of 300mm manufacturing equipment, reorganize its production operations for 200mm and smaller wafers, and pursue greater efficiency and improved profitability.

The reasons the company gives

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

In the semiconductor market, demand related to AI remained firm, while demand for consumer, industrial and automotive applications remained sluggish, and customers continued to normalize wafer inventories for non-leading-edge logic products. Demand for end products also remained stagnant for 200mm and smaller wafers.
