The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company is now in a position to reasonably assess the impact of the situation in the Middle East on raw material prices and procurement, and has prepared its forecasts based on available information and projections. The forecasts incorporate the securing of alternative procurement routes, the passing on of higher costs to prices, and steady performance in resins for electronic materials, supported by memory demand for generative AI applications. On the other hand, as a temporary expense of ¥384 million associated with the withdrawal from the food business will be recorded as an extraordinary loss, net income attributable to owners of the parent for the full fiscal year is expected to fall below the previous fiscal year. In addition to a ¥10 increase in the ordinary dividend, the company plans to pay a ¥10 80th anniversary commemorative dividend.
