electronic materials driven by strong demand.
Operating profit: Down mainly due to above-mentioned lower prices, higher fixed costs for capacity expansion in inorganic chemicals, and intensifying competition in MXDA and its derivatives.
Ordinary profit: Down mainly due to lower operating profit and decline in equity in earnings of affiliates owing to lower methanol prices, despite improvement in non-operating foreign exchange gains.
Profit attributable to owners of parent: Net loss posted mainly due to lower ordinary profit, as well as impairment losses recorded at consolidated subsidiaries overseas.*
