The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Strong performance in AI server-related products, catalysts for overseas markets and catalyst materials for organic synthesis was offset by weak automotive-related demand and the impact of production schedule adjustments due to delays in raw material deliveries and other factors. Operating profitability improved as a result of changes in the sales mix, while net income fell below the year-earlier period due to the recording of a loss on disposal of non-current assets, corporate income taxes and deferred income taxes. The upward revision to the full-year net income forecast reflects the recording of a gain on the sale of investment securities accompanying the sale of strategic shareholdings.
