2. Reasons for the Differences
In the first half of the current fiscal year, sales of information and communication-related products increased and orders for waste treatment- and recycling-related services remained firm. In the foreign exchange market and metal prices, compared to the previous forecast, the average exchange rate of the yen weakened against the U.S. dollar, and the average price of major metals increased. In addition, profit attributable to owners of parent exceeded the previous forecasts, mainly due to the recording of a gain on sale of investment securities as an extraordinary income.
