Although the Steel-related business faced reduced orders, the company achieved overall increases in net sales and profits. For the medium term, attention is required on macro factors such as production trends of major automotive customers, fluctuations in the steel market, rising costs, and labor shortages. The company plans to continue expanding sales of new products through integrated technical and sales operations.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 55,520,000 (YoY +10.1% increase)\nOperating Income: 3,194,900 (YoY +69.7% increase)\nOrdinary Income: 3,493,910 (YoY +54.1% increase)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Interim): 2,196,030 (YoY +50.0% increase)\nEquity Ratio: 53.9% (Compared with fiscal year-end +2.6pt)\nCash and Cash Equivalents: 2,590,181 (Increase compared with previous interim period-end)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NipponCrucible_Results, #InterimResults, #SegmentAnalysis","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 55,520,000 million yen (YoY +10.1% increase)\nOperating Income: 3,199,900 million yen (YoY +69.7% increase)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Interim): 2,196,030 million yen (YoY +50.0% increase)","jir_meta_title":"Nippon Crucible Co., Ltd.
