Executive summary
9M net sales rose 11.6% YoY to ¥77,665 million; operating profit increased 45.7% to ¥9,009 million, partly reflecting refunds of U.S. tariffs paid in the prior fiscal year.

Revised sales and operating profit forecasts are 4.3% and 20.0% above initial guidance, reflecting FX and U.S. tariff refunds.

Q4 assumptions include USD/JPY ¥155 and additional U.S. tariff rates by production location; actual results may vary with market conditions, tariffs and raw-material prices.
