The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
Net sales and profit at each level are expected to exceed the previous forecasts due to higher market prices for methanol and engineering plastics amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, the impact of inventory valuation and settlement differences, and the revision of the foreign exchange rate assumptions toward a weaker yen. For the full-year consolidated forecast, the expected outperformance of first-half profit versus the previous forecast is also cited as a reason.
