Consolidated Operating Results for the First Six Months
of the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025
Overview
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 (January 1–June 30, 2025), the business environment in which the Group operates continued to be uncertain with the impact of U.S. trade policies, concerns over slowdown of the global economy, volatile exchange rates, and persistently high resource and energy prices.
Under these conditions, the Group actively promoted sales activities and made progress on various measures, including measures intended to lower costs, improve productivity, and improve business efficiency.
Consequently, the financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 showed growth in sales and operating income year on year (YoY) as outlined below, whereas ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent decreased YoY mainly due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains.
