Factors underlying change in ordinary profit

  • Some figures do not match due to increase/decrease or rounding
Factors underlying change in ordinary profit
  • Sluggish non-ferrous metals market conditions, especially weak nickel prices, led to lower profit margins
  • Impact of weak shipments of IT terminal devices, soaring raw material prices, and increases in labor costs, etc.
  • Impact of rising labor and energy-related costs

Ordinary profit fell short of both initial and revised forecasts ROE (net income) affected by extraordinary losses due to the following:

  • Allowance for doubtful accounts at joint venture in China
  • Group company restructuring costs
