The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the information-related businesses, delays in the progress of new projects and lower orders for existing businesses, delays in passing through price increases for certain products, and higher logistics and personnel costs weighed on operating profit. In contrast, new orders for cosmetic tubes and price adjustments in Living and Industrial Materials contributed to higher revenue and profit, while net income increased due to the sale of strategic shareholdings and the impact of rising share prices.
