Notes:
Core operating income is calculated by excluding income and expenses due to non-recurring factors from operating income. Results for the six months ended September 30, 2019, are stated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
3．Reasons for Revision
Revenue and core operating income are expected to be improved compared to the previous forecast due to higher shipment volumes than expected mainly in the Fibers & Textiles and Performance Chemicals segments as well as the thorough cost reduction during the period. Profit attributable to owners of parent, on the other hand, is expected to be lower than the previous forecast mainly due to the impairment loss as mentioned in 1 above.
Forecast of consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, is currently under examination and will be announced on November 6 with the announcement of consolidated results for the six months ended September 30, 2020.
