Reason for the revision

In the Valve Business, demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment is strong, and the results of 株式会社ブイテックスグループ, acquired during the current fiscal year, are expected to contribute in the second half. In addition, in the Metal Solutions Business, selling prices are expected to remain high due to the rise in copper prices, while price spreads can also be secured.
