Our plants without flooding damage are currently taking measures such as installing with dykes surrounded by sand bags, waterproofing of the banks, and also installation of water pumps to prevent future damage. Our production activity is falling temporarily due to limited operating hour in consideration of the safety of our employees. We are taking measures to withstand the situation and striving to preserve and maintain the equipment toward the fast resumption of the production as soon as the situation recovers.
Future operations will be decided in light of the situation as it develops. We will continue to monitor the extent of the flood damage and its effect on business performance and immediately report any developments risking a significant impact on business results.
