Increases in new housing starts and progress in selling price revisions are expected to raise net sales above the previous forecast, chiefly in the core building materials and flooring substrates applications. Although energy costs and raw material prices rose due to geopolitical developments in the Middle East, and various expenses related to labor and inflation increased, these cost increases are expected to be offset by the effect of the price revisions, resulting in higher profits. The full-year forecast remains unchanged due to ongoing uncertainty.\n\n### Outlook and considerations\nWhile the interim period profit outlook has been revised upward, the full-year outlook remains uncertain and depends on trends in raw material prices, energy costs, and logistics costs. Exchange rates, market trends, and material cost trajectories could affect future performance, so further outlook revisions may be disclosed.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net sales: 5,400 million yen (Compared with the previous forecast +100 million yen)\nOperating income: 170 million yen (Compared with the previous forecast +270 million yen)\nOrdinary income: 170 million yen (Compared with the previous forecast +280 million yen)\nNet income for the period attributable to owners of parent: 110 million yen (Compared with the previous forecast +230 million yen)\nEarnings per share for the period: 3.88 yen (Compared with the previous forecast +Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HokushinCo.,Ltd.IR, Share buyback \/ Shareholder return, Earnings forecast revision","jir_key_figures":"Net sales: 5,400 million yen (Compared with the previous forecast +100 million yen)\nOperating income: 170 million yen (Compared with the previous forecast +270 million yen)\nEarnings per share for the period: 3.88 yen (Compared with the previous forecast + Unknown)","jir_meta_title":"Hokushin Co., Ltd.
