Reason for the revision

The company was able to ensure a stable supply of products through securing raw materials and alternative sourcing, sales volumes remained firm, and expanded sales and product price revisions increased revenue. Although raw material prices and logistics costs rose, the effects of cost reductions from higher revenue, alternative raw materials and a review of production processes contributed to increases in operating income and ordinary income. Meanwhile, net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to fall below the year-earlier period due to the recognition of impairment losses.

Details and amount of extraordinary loss

Impairment losses of ¥9,197 million (¥4,731 million at a consolidated subsidiary in Hungary, ¥2,595 million at a consolidated subsidiary in Turkey, and ¥1,869 million at a manufacturing facility in Japan)

The reasons the company gives

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

The reasons were that securing raw materials and alternative sourcing stabilized product supplies, sales volumes remained firm, and expanded sales and product price revisions increased revenue. Although raw material prices and logistics costs rose, the effects of cost reductions from higher revenue, alternative raw materials and a review of production processes pushed up operating income and ordinary income. Meanwhile, net income attributable to owners of the parent was revised downward because impairment losses will be recognized for businesses and manufacturing facilities in Hungary, Turkey and Japan.
