The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although crude oil and naphtha prices surged amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and the weaker yen had an impact, the development of new users, reliable procurement of raw materials, higher selling prices, development of new demand, and inventory receipt-and-issue differences contributed to results. In light of first-quarter results and solid recent performance, the Company expects results to exceed its previous forecasts.
