By segment, Functional Chemicals remained solid, demand for Pharmaceuticals\/Medical\/Health decreased, and Fine Chemicals recorded a substantial increase. Against the backdrop of fluctuations in raw material prices and supply-demand conditions, global market uncertainty continues. Full-year guidance was maintained at the time of the release.\n\n### Outlook and capital policy\nFull-year earnings guidance is unchanged at this stage. The policy of acquiring and cancelling treasury stock is noted as a key additional detail, with the aim of stable shareholder returns under the NOF VISION 2030 Stage III, targeting a total_Returned_Value ratio of over 70%. The financial position shows total assets declining while the equity ratio rose.
