The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue, operating income and ordinary income were revised upward as sales volumes, expanded sales and price revisions progressed relatively smoothly. Net income for the fiscal year was revised downward due to the impact of a ¥9.2 billion impairment loss arising from worsening business conditions in businesses including the CNT dispersion business for LiB applications and deteriorating profitability in Turkey.
