Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue increased due to the effects of price revisions, foreign exchange movements and expanding demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the Valve Business, as well as rising copper prices in the Metal Solutions Business. Operating profit increased despite lower sales volumes in overseas markets, higher raw material and component costs, and M&A-related acquisition expenses in the Valve Business, owing to the securing of price spreads from higher copper prices in the Metal Solutions Business. Profit attributable to owners of the parent for the interim period increased due to the gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment from the sale of the former headquarters of a U.S. subsidiary.
