During the fiscal year under review, the global economy continued to experience a sustained recovery. However, the outlook for the environment in which the Group operates remains uncertain due to factors such as accelerating inflation, with sharp increases in resource and energy prices, as a result of changes in U.S. tariff policies and escalating tensions in the Middle East. In the aluminum products industry, demand for sheet materials in Japan declined slightly year on year, due to factors such as reduced demand for aluminum cans resulting from price increases for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, along with the shift toward lighter cans.Regarding the Group’s domestic sales volume, sales of sheet materials declined slightly year on year due to a decrease in domestic demand. On the other hand, overseas sales volume increased year on year at Tri-Arrows Aluminum Inc. and UACJ (Thailand) Co., Ltd., supported by strong demand for can stock. As a result of these factors, the Group’s sales volume of sheet products increased overall year on year.In this environment, the Group’s business performance was driven by factors such as an increase in sales volume and rising aluminum ingot prices, resulting in consolidated revenue of \1,181,716 million (up 18.3% year on year). Regarding income, business profit was \48,184 million (up 5.0% year on year), consolidated operating income was \76,863 million (up 34.0% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of the parent was \38,882 million (up 39.0% year on year).
