The company attributed the revenue decline to slower-than-expected domestic price adjustments and volume reductions from price pass-through effects, partially offset by stronger overseas pricing gains. However, tungsten price volatility and improved scrap recovery under the weighted-average cost method have contained manufacturing costs below initial projections, while lower-than-expected repair expenses bolstered profitability.

Management cautioned that raw material cost pressures will emerge gradually in the second half, with uncertainty around supply-chain mitigation strategies warranting conservative H2 guidance. The revision reflects a profit-margin expansion strategy despite near-term revenue headwinds, though full-year profit growth remains more modest than interim-period gains.
