「Operating profit increased ¥876 million year on year. Quantitatively, the main factors driving the increase were higher sales volumes resulting from strong demand in China, North America and Taiwan (¥1,170 million), and revisions to selling prices, mainly in Japan (¥860 million). The main factors driving the decrease were higher domestic manufacturing labor costs and other expenses, and higher fixed costs resulting from the conversion of a European group company into a wholly owned subsidiary (¥860 million decrease), as well as deterioration in variable-cost unit prices owing to higher raw-material prices (¥280 million decrease).」
Higher domestic manufacturing labor costs and other expenses were quantified as a ¥860 million factor reducing operating profit, indicating that the impact of labor shortages and rising personnel expenses was reflected in full-year results. - 2026-04-30MaterialisedEarnings
