Revenue for the cumulative second quarter rose to 85,000 million yen (up 5,000 million yen from the previous forecast), and full-year revenue to 174,000 million yen (up 5,000 million yen from the previous forecast). Operating profit for the cumulative second quarter was revised to 9,000 million yen and full-year to 16,000 million yen. Ordinary income was adjusted from 8,000 million yen to 14,500 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent from 4,500 million yen to 9,000 million yen. Earnings per share is also expected to rise from 324.82 yen to 649.65 yen.\n\n### Drivers and outlook\nImprovement in the stainless specialty steel market driven by a recovery in semiconductor-related demand, along with increased demand in strategic high-function materials, are contributing to profitability. Higher sales volumes and expanded inventory valuation gains are lifting profits, and the outlook for the second half anticipates a similar level of earnings improvement as in the first half. The dividend forecast remains at 110 yen for both interim and year-end with potential for additional disclosures depending on progress. The exchange rate assumption is 155 yen\/US$, and nickel price assumption is based on 7.5 US$\/lb.","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue (cumulative Q2): 85,000 (Compared with previous forecast +5,000)\nOperating profit (cumulative Q2): 9,000 (Compared with previous forecast +3,000)\nOrdinary income (cumulative Q2): 8,000 (Compared with previous forecast +2,500)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent (cumulative Q2): 4,500 (Compared with previous forecast +1,000)\nEarnings per share (cumulative Q2): 324.82 (Compared with previous forecast +72.18)\nRevenue (full year): 174,000 (Compared with previous forecast +5,000)\nOperating profit (full year): 16,000 (Compared with previous forecast +3,000)\nOrdinary income (full year): 14,500 (Compared with previous forecast +2,500)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent (full year): 9,000 (Compared with previous forecast +1,000)\nEarnings per share (full year): 649.65 (Compared with previous forecast +72.19)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NihonIronAndMetalIndustryCo., #EarningsGuidanceRevision, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Revenue (cumulative Q2): 85,000 million yen\nOperating profit (cumulative Q2): 9,000 million yen\nNet income attributable to owners of parent (full year): 9,000 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Nihon Iron & Metal Industry Co., Ltd.
