Overview of Results
Consolidated performance for the interim period showed significant revenue growth. Driven mainly by the Materials business, higher raw material prices and improved product market conditions supported revenue increases, while the Solutions business also contributed to sales growth in certain products. Operating profit rose substantially due to reduced inventory valuation losses and improved spreads, demonstrating a solid recovery on a company-wide basis. The full-year outlook has been revised upward from the previous forecast; however, the second half is expected to see some profit pressure assuming continued high raw material costs.
Segment Highlights and Financial Impact
Materials exceeded the prior year in both revenue and profit, with segment profit remaining strong. Solutions achieved large profit gains due to increased sales and a reversal to inventory valuation gains. Overall, contributions from equity-method investments also helped improve profit before tax and net income attributable to owners of parent. Cash and cash equivalents decreased at the end of the interim period, but the financial position remains sound.
