These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the wafer reclamation business, continued high utilisation and increased sales volume contributed to results. In the prime wafer business, increased sales volume and a higher proportion of value-added products, driven by expanding demand and capital investment, were contributing factors. In the semiconductor-related equipment and materials business, reduced production at RSPDH led to lower revenue and profit, while the energy business recorded higher revenue and a narrower operating loss.
