The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The worsening situation in the Middle East had previously made it difficult to calculate an earnings forecast, but the company has now announced one based on current conditions. Net sales are expected to increase as the rise in raw material and fuel costs is passed through to selling prices and as the yen's depreciation boosts results. Operating income and ordinary income are expected to decline due to higher fixed costs associated with the expansion of superabsorbent resin manufacturing facilities at the Singapore site, while net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to increase due to a decrease in extraordinary losses.
