Net sales, operating income, and ordinary income are expected to be lower than the previous forecast with impacts from an economic slowdown in China and a fall in market prices centering on acrylonitrile in the chemicals business. Net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to be lower than the previous forecast due to a reconsideration of prospects for gain on sales of investment securities.
