Free cash flow improved to ¥12.1B, up +50.4%.

What drove the change

Currency moves pulled sales down, while gravure inks, can coatings, functional coatings and display adhesives held up or grew
Automotive battery materials and LCD color filter materials were weak, but cost cuts, price revisions in Japan and steadier naphtha prices lifted operating income
Impairments on the Kentucky and Hungary battery material plants, tied to the EV slowdown, and a tax law change in Turkey cut net income

Things to watch

A longer EV slowdown could delay demand for its lithium-ion battery materials
Information printing keeps shrinking as media goes digital, which could reduce ink and pigment sales and profit
Its main raw materials come from petrochemicals, so swings in oil and naphtha prices or supply disruptions can squeeze margins
