The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the interim period, sales in the steel-related business were broadly in line with expectations, while profit exceeded forecast due to valuation differences on inventories of raw materials and work in process. The full-year forecasts reflect the interim-period outperformance, revisions to selling prices for heavy plates, the current cost environment, and the expected impact of recording a loss on disposal of fixed assets in the second half.
