The company pursued proactive domestic and overseas sales activities, strengthened safe and stable production, and worked to improve productivity. Sales in the iodine and natural gas business increased, supported by firm international iodine market conditions, among other factors, while operating profit was largely unchanged from the same period of the previous year due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with aggressive capital investment. In the metal compounds business, sales volume exceeded the same period of the previous year, but selling prices fell below the prior-year level due to metal market conditions, resulting in an operating loss.
