The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In Japan, compounds and colorants for transportation equipment, and pigments and coatings for information and electronics applications, performed well. Overseas, compounds and colorants in India and gravure inks for the packaging industry in Indonesia performed well. Price revisions, strong sales of high-value-added products and a temporary boost from the consumption of low-cost inventory also contributed to higher profits. The full-year forecast is based on increased sales of high-value-added products and the implementation of profitability improvement measures.
