Operating profit was JPY 25,866 million (up 8.2% YoY), and operating income was JPY 24,831 million (up 36.2% YoY), mainly driven by increased sales of semiconductor-related materials overseas and high value-added products, and the effect of sales price optimization. Net income attributable to owners of the parent for the quarter was JPY 19,697 million, a significant 53.2% increase year over year.\n\n### Segment Results\nSemiconductor-related materials saw revenue increase by JPY 90,999 million due to robust demand in China and expansion of AI-related applications, with business profit up JPY 14,031 million. High-performance plastics recorded a revenue decline of JPY 21,414 million primarily due to structural reforms in North American operations; however, business profit increased by JPY 6,767 million because of sales price optimization and raw material cost reductions. Quality of Life-related products saw steady sales of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, resulting in a slight decrease in revenue but an increase in business profit.\n\n### Financial Position and Cash Flows\nTotal assets increased by JPY 53,088 million compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, reaching JPY 470,866 million. Total liabilities increased to JPY 139,290 million, and total equity stood at JPY 331,576 million.
