  • Domestic ・Domestic sales volume of paper and paperboard products decreased year on year due to sluggish demand.

    ・Despite the stable price of coal and other fuels and the positive effect of cost improvements, profits

    decreased year on year due to increase in labor and logistics cost.

  • Overseas ・Jujo Thermal (JTOy) saw its deficit shrink compared to the same period last year, despite the continued slump in demand for thermal paper in the European market.
