These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In FY2025, profit growth was supported by higher sales of core products in the Focus Business, higher copper prices and the reversal of one-off losses recorded in the previous fiscal year. For FY2026, the outlook incorporates expected growth in AI data center-related demand, improved selling prices and higher sales volumes, as well as the ¥7.0 billion impact of the Middle East crisis, the loss of the Caserones contribution, and adverse ore and raw material terms and higher costs.
