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.Increased sales of films for the electronics and medical sectors, materials for semiconductor wafer transport, and vehicle interior materials for aircraft and automobiles, together with cost reduction initiatives such as production consolidation, drove operating profit higher. Ordinary profit also benefited from ¥201 million in foreign exchange gains resulting from the weaker yen and ¥80 million in dividend income. The upward revision to the net income forecast reflects the expected recognition of an extraordinary gain from the sale of investment securities, based on the policy of reducing cross-shareholdings.
