The reasons the company gives

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

Demand for products for advanced semiconductor package substrates, including those related to generative AI, remained strong, leading to higher chemical shipments. Strong demand for highly profitable products also contributed to the increase in profit. For interim net income, the company also cited the reversal of a temporary downward factor from the previous interim period, when corporate taxes and other taxes increased in line with higher dividends from overseas subsidiaries. No specific reason for the revision to the full-year earnings forecast was provided in the main text.
