The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Products for electronic component manufacturing processes performed well, and touch panel materials for industrial equipment also grew. However, camera components for smartphones struggled due to weakness in the Chinese market, while films for automotive applications remained under pressure because of weak automotive production in Europe.
