The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company is prioritizing the maintenance of supply while passing through higher material costs. Investment in wrapping equipment is planned because production has continued at full capacity as a result of sales activities. In response to surging antimony prices, the company is also proceeding with price pass-through and switching to non-antimony materials. Meanwhile, it cited conditions in the Middle East, tighter production controls in China, and changes in automakers' EV policies as concerns.
