Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

In functional products, Beauty Care posted higher revenue but lower profit due to increased overseas sales of functional oils and lower domestic sales of bioactive substances; Healthcare posted lower revenue and profit due to the reactionary decline in spot contract manufacturing projects for pharmaceutical intermediates from the previous interim period and lower overseas sales of phospholipids for pharmaceutical use; and Fine Chemicals posted higher revenue but lower profit because the pass-through of higher raw material costs into selling prices was deferred to the second half, despite higher sales of wool grease derivatives for industrial use. Environmental and hygiene products posted higher revenue and profit due to selling price revisions and expanded sales in the food business and medical and nursing care sectors. Interim net income attributable to owners of the parent increased due to the recognition of gains on sales of investment securities.

The reasons the company gives

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

In functional products, profit was weighed down by the reactionary decline in spot contract manufacturing projects for pharmaceutical intermediates, lower overseas sales of phospholipids for pharmaceutical use, and the deferral to the second half of the pass-through of higher raw material costs into selling prices. In contrast, environmental and hygiene products contributed to higher revenue and profit through selling price revisions and expanded sales in the food business and medical and nursing care sectors. Interim net income attributable to owners of the parent increased due to the recognition of gains on sales of investment securities.
