The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.

Reason for the revision

Net sales and operating profit were revised downward because demand for major products is expected to fall short of assumptions, among other factors. Ordinary profit remains unchanged because foreign exchange gains and losses, net financial income and expenses, and other factors are expected to offset the decline in operating profit. Net income was revised downward due to additional extraordinary losses, including special retirement payments and losses resulting from the shortening of depreciation periods, associated with bringing forward the timing of the suspension or reduction of production in Thailand.

The reasons the company gives

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

The forecasts for net sales and operating profit have been revised downward because demand for major products is expected to fall short of assumptions across all segments, including Functional Products and Resins and Chemicals. Ordinary profit remains unchanged because foreign exchange gains and losses, net financial income and expenses, and other factors are expected to offset the decline in operating profit. Net income has been revised downward due to additional extraordinary losses, including special retirement payments and the shortening of depreciation periods, following the decision to bring forward by one year the timing of the suspension or reduction of caprolactam and nylon polymer production in Thailand.
