Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥1.36T, up +3.9% from ¥1.31T.
  • Profit grew much faster: operating income rose +19.3% from ¥165.9B to ¥197.9B, and net income +25.4% from ¥98.8B to ¥123.9B.
  • Operating cash flow increased +15.9% to ¥272.6B, and free cash flow jumped +85.1% to ¥163.4B.

What drove the change

  • Gas volumes fell across the group, but price increases that passed on higher costs and regional productivity programs lifted profit.
  • One-off losses such as business exit costs, which were heavy the year before, shrank, so operating income grew faster than underlying profit.
  • In Asia and Oceania, acquired businesses (an Australian LPG distributor and an industrial gas business in Oceania) added sales and profit. The US segment, by contrast, earned less due to higher costs and lower volumes.

Things to watch

  • Electricity is a large part of the cost of making oxygen, nitrogen and argon; if cost increases can't be fully passed on, earnings suffer.
  • Specialty gases for chipmaking and helium depend on global supply chains, and geopolitics or export controls could disrupt supply.
  • If key customers in steel, chemicals or semiconductors cut output, plant utilization could drop and lead to impairment losses.
