Factors of Change in Net Sales (Q3 Year-to-Date Results, YoY)Japan: Despite the price hikes, sales were largely unchanged year on year due to lower sales volume in packaging.
Overseas: Sales in Asia increased as a result of the inclusion of PREMIER CENTRE GROUP SDN. BHD. in the scope of consolidation. Sales in the U.S. and other regions grew as engineering operations in North America began to recover due to increased sales to new customers despite the ongoing challenging market conditions.
