Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Sales of diffusion products for transportation equipment remained sluggish due to sluggish automobile production, while sales of products used in battery manufacturing processes remained sluggish as customers revised their production plans. Meanwhile, light-blocking and adhesive products for communications equipment and hard-coat products for industrial equipment contributed to sales and profit.

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.

Products for transportation equipment were affected by sluggish automobile production in Europe and East Asia, while sales of products used in battery manufacturing processes remained sluggish as customers revised their production plans. Lower sales of high-margin products, sluggish sales of products for transportation equipment, lower production utilization in the United States and the loss of new projects pushed down operating income, and an impairment loss of ¥111 million related to the former Technology Development Center was recorded as an extraordinary loss.
