November 7, 2016

Overview

  • While we made efforts to raise our product prices to viable levels, sales for the first half only totaled ¥251.7 billion (down ¥25.0 billion year-on-year) due to declines in market prices of raw materials.

    • In terms of earnings, such factors as a slower-than-usual restart of operations following the scheduled outage in May at Kure Works and the inventory valuation loss depressed ordinary income to ¥1.0 billion (down ¥4.4 billion year-on-year) and ordinary income excluding such valuation loss to ¥7.0 billion (down ¥3.4 billion on the same basis).

    • Stainless steel shipments showed signs of picking up and following rises in market prices of raw materials, we raised our prices of Ni-containing stainless products by ¥10,000/ton effective with August contracts. However, ordinary loss of the stainless steel sector for the first half stood at ¥3.5 billion (improved by ¥0.5 billion y-o-y) and ordinary loss excluding the inventory valuation came to ¥0.0 billion (improved by ¥1.0 billion on the same basis).
