The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
In the domestic special steel materials business, the impact of the blast furnace disruption was resolved considerably earlier than expected, and results in the formed materials and equipment business also exceeded expectations. This trend is expected to continue in the second quarter, and ordinary profit and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent are also expected to exceed the previous forecasts in line with the increase in operating profit. The full-year forecasts have been left unchanged in view of the continuing uncertain business environment, including the situation in the Middle East.
