The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The business environment for the petrochemicals business has become increasingly challenging as demand structures have changed in Japan and overseas, with competitiveness declining particularly in East Asia. The company determined that fundamentally transforming and strengthening its business foundation, and advancing industry restructuring and integration with other companies, are essential to ensure a stable supply of basic chemicals, enhance value-added content and strengthen the resilience of the supply chain.
