「North American revenue increased by ¥1,623 million, or 5.8%, year on year to ¥29,404 million, due in part to the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, however, revenue declined due in part to lower selling prices in line with customers' production cuts and declines in raw material prices and other factors.」
In contrast to the previous increases in raw material prices, selling prices also fell in line with declines in raw material prices and other costs, materializing as a factor behind the decline in North American revenue excluding foreign exchange effects. - FY2024-Q2MitigatedAnnual report
「Although lower revenue in China, higher labor costs due to wage increases and other factors contributed to the deterioration, operating profit was ¥1,724 million due to higher revenue in other regions, improved profitability from rationalization, the easing of the impact of higher raw material prices and the elimination of production losses following customers' production recovery, among other factors.」
The easing of the impact of higher raw material prices and other costs was cited as a factor improving profitability, and the downward pressure from raw material price fluctuations has partially eased. However, cost factors such as wage increases remain. - FY2024-Q1MitigatedAnnual report
「Easing of the impact of higher prices for certain raw materials and other items」
