The trend of operating within challenging economic conditions, which has prevailed in recent years, continues into 2025. Key challenges such as inflation and increasing interest rates are anticipated to maintain their current levels or even experience slight declines. Additionally, global security crises further complicate the economic landscape, introducing uncertainties that may impact energy prices, disrupt supply chains, and affect the availability of certain materials. The potential risk of a global trade war could trigger further increases in raw material prices and increased operating costs. We are closely monitoring these occurrences and are taking measures to mitigate potential effects.

Building upon our ongoing investments in new manufacturing facilities, equipment, and research and development endeavors, we aim to fortify our competitive portfolio and capitalize on market expansion opportunities. In pursuit of these objectives, we will continue to recruit talent domestically and internationally, while steadfastly investing in enhancing the knowledge and skills of our workforce and in building talents.
