None of the final-year targets of Medium-Term Management Plan 2025 was achieved. The main factors cited include the semiconductor market entering a correction phase midway through the plan period, the time required for the effects of expanding demand in advanced semiconductor fields to reach the company's business areas, shrinking domestic demand in the chemicals and cement businesses, soaring raw material and fuel prices, and increases in personnel, research and development, and IT costs.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The final-year targets of Medium-Term Management Plan 2025 were not achieved. The company cites the semiconductor market correction, delays in the benefits of demand growth in advanced fields reaching its business areas, declining domestic demand for chemicals and cement, soaring raw material and fuel prices, and increases in personnel, research and development, and IT costs as the main factors. Under the new plan, the company aims to accelerate the transformation of its business portfolio centered on electronics and healthcare, achieving sustainable earnings growth and enhancing corporate value.
