「Revenue was ¥12,639 million, down 1.6% year on year. In terms of earnings, operating profit was ¥85 million, compared with ¥5 million in the same period of the previous year, reflecting lower costs from price revisions and a review of manufacturing processes, as well as a recovery in the earnings power of subsidiaries. Ordinary profit was ¥321 million, up 62.6%, due to increases in dividend income and foreign exchange gains. Net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥293 million, up 97.5%, due to gains on the sale of cross-shareholdings.」

「Against this economic backdrop, the group worked to strengthen its earnings base by reviewing its pricing structure. However, weak domestic demand and lower sales at its Chinese subsidiary due to the stagnation of the Chinese economy resulted in revenue of ¥6,030 million, down ¥442 million or 6.8% year on year. In terms of earnings, despite efforts to reduce costs thoroughly, the cost ratio rose due to higher raw material and energy prices and increased depreciation expenses. The group therefore recorded an operating loss of ¥21 million, compared with operating profit of ¥19 million in the same period of the previous year. Ordinary profit was ¥96 million, down 16.1%, while interim net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥86 million, up 26.6%, mainly due to a decrease in extraordinary losses.」
