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.In the Electronics business, revenue growth was driven by the weaker yen, price revisions for certain products in response to higher raw material and other costs, and increased sales volumes of products for memory applications and other products amid the spread of AI. In the Pharmaceuticals business, revenue declined due to changes in the product mix of its contract manufacturing business and lower sales volumes of cough and expectorant medicines and products covered by the selected medical treatment system. The reasons given for raising the full-year forecast were that the Electronics business's second-quarter results exceeded expectations and that a gain on the sale of investment securities of ¥2,052 million was recorded.
