Items this document does not state (16)
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.The company cited the worsening procurement environment for raw-material ores, less favorable TC/RC and spent-battery terms, longer processing times and an increase in work in progress due to raw-material conditions, lower production and sales of precious metals, and falling metal prices as the main reasons for lowering its full-year forecast. For the second-quarter profit increase, it cited rising silver prices, the effects of measures to sell held assets containing silver, the reversal of costs for follow-up work related to the previous year's restructuring of the zinc business, and the tax effect from recognizing deferred tax assets.
