「Against this backdrop, orders in the functional materials segment fell substantially, affected by the prolonged adjustment of liquid crystal panel production after excess inventories arose from supply-chain disruption and confusion caused by the lockdown in Shanghai, China, resulting in lower sales. In terms of earnings, the company was unable to fully pass on to selling prices the increase in manufacturing costs resulting from higher raw material prices due to persistently high crude oil prices and higher electricity and fuel costs. This was compounded by a higher fixed-cost ratio due to lower sales volumes in the functional materials segment, resulting in an operating loss, while ordinary profit was positive due to dividend income and foreign exchange gains. As a result, the group reported net sales of ¥14,059 million, down 4.8% year on year, operating loss of ¥147 million, compared with operating profit of ¥645 million in the previous year, ordinary profit of ¥27 million, down 96.2%, and loss attributable to owners of the parent for the quarter of ¥18 million, compared with profit attributable to owners of the parent for the quarter of ¥523 million in the previous year.」
Prolonged liquid crystal panel production adjustments following the lockdown in Shanghai, China, lower orders for functional materials, and insufficient pass-through of higher raw material and electricity and fuel costs caused lower sales and resulted in an operating loss and a quarterly net loss.
