In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2025, revenue and operating profit exceeded the year-earlier levels, while ordinary profit and quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent declined due to the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses. The full-year earnings forecast and annual dividend forecast remain unchanged.
