This document presents the consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2014. The consolidated sales showed a slight increase compared to the same period last year, while operating profit decreased. In particular, the industrial materials segment benefited from steady demand in beverage-related products, but was affected by softening market prices. The outlook for the full fiscal year anticipates sales of 74,000 million yen and operating profit of 2,900 million yen. The next mid-term management plan emphasizes key areas such as energy projects, new product development, and overseas expansion.
