The reasons the company gives

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

Steady performance in liquid inks, UV inks, adhesives and can coatings, along with expanded sales of coating materials for smartphones, a recovery in CF materials for large displays and continued strength in optical adhesives, contributed to the results. The Company also recorded a ¥3.6 billion gain on the sale of investment securities. Going forward, it aims to stabilize performance through a stable supply supported by SCM optimization and a swift response to price changes.
