Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

The recovery in demand related to liquid-crystal displays was gradual amid uncertainty over U.S. tariff policy, and sales volume was about the same as in the previous fiscal year. Meanwhile, price reductions for products following lower raw material prices, together with higher personnel expenses and other costs, resulted in a slight increase in net sales and a decline in operating profit.
