Items stated in the management plan
Partially revisedEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. The increase shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the amount of growth.
Softer market prices: lower selling prices resulting from declines in market prices for key resin raw materials and products, Impact of U.S. tariffs: higher costs and lower selling prices resulting from U.S. tariffs, Higher EcoPoly mix: lower profitability due to expansion in mainland China, where competition is intense and demand is concentrated on commodity grades, Revision of the equipment plan to improve production capacity and efficiency, Extension of the system development period associated with the equipment plan revision, Lengthening of the Malaysian government approval process

Items this document does not state (13)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The reasons were lower selling prices for key resin raw materials and products due to softer market prices, higher costs and lower selling prices resulting from U.S. tariffs, and a higher proportion of EcoPoly as the business expanded in mainland China, where competition is intense and demand is concentrated on commodity grades. The equipment plan was revised to improve production capacity and efficiency, while the system development period was extended and the Malaysian government approval process took longer than expected.
