The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Sales of automotive-related materials increased due to growing demand for hybrid vehicles in the United States, price revisions in response to higher raw material and fuel prices, and steady performance by separator paper for lead-acid batteries. In water-treatment-related materials, sales of nonwoven fabric used as a support layer for separation membranes increased. Operating income benefited from higher sales volumes of nonwoven fabric used as a support layer for separation membranes and increased inventories of that product and engine filter media, while higher raw material unit costs and an increase in headcount were negative factors.
