Reason for the revision

Although raw material prices and energy costs have risen substantially, the increase is expected to be more gradual than initially anticipated, while the extent of price pass-through is also expected to be more limited than assumed. Consequently, revenue is expected to fall below the previous forecast. Profit is expected to exceed the previous forecast, supported by the revenue growth effect centered on electronic components in the Information and Electronics business, improved production efficiency, and profit-enhancement measures including price pass-through.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue is expected to fall below the previous forecast because raw material prices and energy costs are expected to rise more slowly than initially anticipated, while the extent of price pass-through is expected to be limited. Profit is expected to exceed the previous forecast, supported by the revenue growth effect centered on electronic components in the Information and Electronics business, improved production efficiency, and profit-enhancement measures including price pass-through. The dividend was increased in line with the basic policy of providing stable and continuous dividends, with a payout ratio of 40% as a guideline.
