The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue was increased because the assumed exchange rate was revised to reflect a weaker yen and global sales have remained firm. Operating profit was reduced because, although exchange rate effects, higher unit sales, an improved sales mix, cost reductions and fixed-cost reductions are expected to increase profit, the negative impact of higher raw material prices resulting from the situation in the Middle East is expected to outweigh these factors.
