For the cumulative second quarter, sales of photosensitive materials and high-purity solvents continued to exceed the initial forecasts against the backdrop of rapid growth in the semiconductor market. The company expects an inventory impact of approximately ¥500 million from increased production in the previous fiscal year, higher sales, and inventory valuation gains of approximately ¥400 million resulting from soaring raw material and fuel prices. For the full year, sales have been revised upward in anticipation of continued sales expansion in the second half, while the company explains that profit forecasts will remain unchanged from the previous forecast because there will be no one-off profit-increasing factors and the earnings impact of soaring raw material and fuel prices and higher fixed costs associated with increased production are expected.
