Reason for the revision

ライフサイエンス事業では工業用途の需要落ち込みが長期化し、中国市場・欧州経済の低迷、コロナ禍の物流混乱による世界的な在庫増加の反動もあって売上高が計画を下回る見込みとなった。電子材料および機能性化学品事業では半導体市場の低迷が長期化し、超高純度コロイダルシリカの売上高が計画を大きく下回る見込みとなった。売上減少、原料価格・輸入価格の上昇、稼働率低下によるコストアップの影響が、円安による効果や為替差益を上回る見込みとしている。

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

ライフサイエンス事業では工業用途、中国・欧州を中心とする海外需要の低迷や在庫増加の反動により売上高が計画を下回る見込みとなった。電子材料および機能性化学品事業では、半導体市場の低迷により主力製品の売上高が計画を大きく下回り、稼働率低下によるコストアップも利益を押し下げる見込みとなった。円安による売上高・為替差益の効果はあるものの、売上減少、原料価格や輸入価格の上昇の影響が大きいとしている。
