Reason for the revision

The impact of AuBEX CORPORATION's earnings forecast was difficult to calculate reasonably because the forecast had not been determined, but circumstances now permit its announcement. The operating profit forecast was revised because the impact of the situation in the Middle East on fuel prices and other costs during the first half was not as significant as initially expected, and cost reductions are also expected to contribute.

Previous-period resultsSecond-quarter results: sales of ¥4,843 million, operating profit of ¥276 million, ordinary profit of ¥476 million, interim profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥335 million, and interim earnings per share of ¥31.53.

The reasons the company gives

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

The company disclosed forecasts for ordinary profit, profit attributable to owners of the parent, and earnings per share because AuBEX CORPORATION, an equity-method affiliate, became able to announce its earnings forecast. The operating profit forecast was revised upward because the impact of the situation in the Middle East on fuel prices and other costs during the first half was not as significant as initially expected, and cost reductions are also expected to contribute.
