Regarding product supply, we are striving to maintain stable supply by diversifying raw material procurement sources and securing appropriate inventory. If any disruptions in raw material supply occur in the future, we will consult with you promptly. Regarding the response to rising raw material prices, we continue to implement internal cost reductions to address the increase in raw material and energy costs. Depending on the situation, we may request a review of product prices, and we will provide advance notice in such cases.
