Operating income and ordinary income were both negative, and net income attributable to owners of the parent for the interim period was -2,965 million yen, resulting in interim net income per share of -99.12 yen. The primary causes were the impact of the Kumamoto earthquake and foreign exchange losses, leading to a downward revision of the full-year forecast.\n\n### Outlook and Impact Factors\nThe full-year earnings forecast is expected to fall below the prior forecast, taking into account continued production and shipment disruptions caused by the Kumamoto earthquake and fluctuations in inventory valuation. Additional costs related to earthquake effects and exchange rate movements are expected in the second half, and recovery of performance may require time.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 40,951 million yen (Actual 40,951 million yen, -4,049 million yen versus prior forecast (-9.0%))\nOperating Income: -1,236 million yen (Down 36 million yen versus prior forecast)\nOrdinary Income: -2,758 million yen (Down 1,358 million yen versus prior forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Interim): -2,965 million yen (Significant decrease versus prior forecast)\nInterim Net Income per Share: -99.12 yen (Actual value)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#OsakaSteel, #ConsolidatedResults, #EarningsForecastRevision","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 40,951 million yen (Down 4,049 million yen versus prior forecast, -9.0%)\nOperating Income: -1,236 million yen (Down 36 million yen versus prior forecast)\nOrdinary Income: -2,758 million yen (Down 1,358 million yen versus prior forecast)","jir_meta_title":"Osaka Steel Co., Ltd.
