Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥1.67T, down from ¥1.81T (-7.8%).
  • Operating income fell to ¥73.8B (-5.8%), yet net income rose to ¥34.4B (+6.6%).
  • Cash generation improved: operating cash flow reached ¥213B (+6.2%) and free cash flow ¥75.2B (+21.2%).

What drove the change

  • Lower naphtha and other feedstock prices pushed selling prices down, and sales volumes fell, mainly in Basic Green Materials
  • Inventory valuation worsened as feedstock prices dropped, and the company booked an impairment on its stake in a Chinese phenol affiliate, which cut operating income
  • ICT Solutions sold more semiconductor and optical materials as chip demand recovered

Things to watch

  • Swings in naphtha and fuel prices, and how much of them can be passed on to customers, move both sales and profit
  • Instability in the Middle East has made energy supply and feedstock sourcing harder to predict
  • Weak demand for downstream products has kept Japanese naphtha crackers running at low rates
