Items this document does not state (5)
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.In the first half, strong performance in the 2 industrial segments more than offset lower sales of photographic OEM products, resulting in higher revenue. Profit declined due to lower sales in the high-margin photographic business, higher raw material, utility and logistics costs, and increased R&D and personnel expenses. The full-year revenue forecast was revised upward to reflect strong performance in automotive applications and other areas, while profit forecasts were kept in line with the initial plan despite cost increases.
