The main reasons include: 1) the price of raw materials rose, the price of copper, the company’s main raw material, rose by 14% year-on-year, and the hedging effect implemented by the company weakened. 2) The company has not raised prices further since Q3, and the effect of price increase in the early stage is digested by the rising raw material prices.
