Items this document does not state (14)
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.Sales volumes increased in semiconductors and electronic materials, led by materials for AI applications, while in chemicals, the recovery in graphite sales volumes and the effects of structural reforms contributed to performance. The full-year forecasts incorporate a ¥99 billion loss associated with the formulation of strategic options for the graphite electrode business, as well as losses associated with the execution of the partial spin-off of Kurasas Chemical.
