Operating profit and ordinary profit exceeded forecasts because the Brazilian subsidiary's performance continued to surpass expectations, price revisions for newsprint and packaging and functional materials took hold, and fixed-cost reductions took effect. Despite the upside in ordinary profit and recognition of a deferred income tax benefit of ¥4,111 million, interim net profit fell below the forecast because recognition of an approximately ¥8,000 million gain on the sale of fixed assets, consisting of warehouse real estate related to the Kawasaki facility, was delayed until the third quarter.
