Net sales increased year over year, and operating income rose significantly. As a contribution by segment, materials for Color & Functional and Graphic & Printing are driving sales. Factors affecting profitability include trends in raw material prices and costs, with considerations of inventory impacts and exchange rates. Outlook for the second quarter onward is delegated to the consolidated earnings forecast in another document.\n\n### Impact on shareholders \/ Outlook\nProfit growth this period is expected to be supported by stabilized raw material prices and expansion of the product lineup. On the other hand, fluctuations in raw material costs and progress in pass-through pricing may affect margins. Progress toward the medium-term plan's growth strategy and cost-reduction initiatives will directly influence future results.
