「However, if circumstances arise in which the company is unable to procure necessary raw materials due to the impact of global conditions or other factors, its production activities may be significantly affected. In addition, if energy prices, raw material costs, labor costs and other expenses rise significantly, the company will respond by negotiating prices with suppliers, reducing costs through higher productivity, and revising product prices to the extent possible. However, if high prices persist and the resulting cost increases cannot be fully absorbed, its business results may be affected.」
