The full-year forecast remains unchanged, with raw material and energy costs and geopolitical risks factored in conservatively for the second half.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The drivers of higher sales and profit were the launch of new projects in Japan, product mix, increased tooling sales associated with the start of mass production of new models, increased demand and improved productivity. The company explained that the impact of raw material and energy costs, inflation in labor costs and the Middle East crisis was offset by the effects of higher sales, tooling sales, productivity improvements and one-off factors.
