Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Sales in the Agricultural Chemicals business remained solid, with increases in deliveries under advance orders for rice-paddy chemicals and sales of horticultural chemicals in Japan, as well as overseas sales to India and Brazil. The Fine Chemicals business reported lower revenue due to fluctuations in customer demand, demand being pushed back to later periods and inventory adjustments, while the Fiber Materials business posted lower profit due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
