Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Demand for products for advanced semiconductor packaging and automatic chemical treatment solution management systems, together with the expansion of distributors handling automotive chemical products, resulted in higher earnings. In industrial chemicals, however, lower demand for steel materials, reduced production volumes, equipment trouble and lower order volumes resulting from catalyst replacement cycles occurred. In the next fiscal year, selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase due to higher depreciation and amortization expense resulting from development investment, among other factors.

The reasons the company gives

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

The Company pursued the development of high-value-added products and market expansion through sales activities in Japan and overseas. Demand for products for advanced semiconductor packaging and automatic chemical treatment solution management systems, as well as the expansion of distributors handling automotive chemical products, contributed to higher sales and earnings. In industrial chemicals, however, lower demand for steel materials, reduced production volumes, equipment trouble and lower order volumes resulting from catalyst replacement cycles contributed to lower sales and earnings. In the next fiscal year, selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase due to higher depreciation and amortization expense resulting from development investment for advanced semiconductors, among other factors.
