Items this document does not state (15)
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 semiconductors and electronic materials, sales volumes increased, led mainly by materials for AI applications. In chemicals, the recovery in graphite sales volumes and the effects of structural reforms contributed to higher profit. The full-year forecast was revised to reflect strong performance in semiconductors and electronic materials and the treatment of クラサスケミカル as a discontinued operation based on the planned execution of a partial spin-off.
