The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Based on on-site inspections, damage to the equipment itself was minor, and replacement power cables and related items have already been arranged. As the timing of the resumption of operations and subsequent production levels have not been determined, the amount of the impact on results cannot yet be reasonably calculated.
