Middle East Situation and FY2026 Full-Year Outlook
The impact related to the Middle East situation is expected to continue at least through the first half of FY2026. However, We aim to stabilize earnings through SCM optimization, stable supply to existing customers, and prompt pricing actions.
While a temporary time lag between raw material cost increases and pricing actions is anticipated, the full-year earnings and dividend forecast remain unchanged at this time.
