Results at a glance

  • Revenue for FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥399.9B, down -2.3% from ¥409.3B.
  • Gross profit rose +6.2% to ¥74.8B, but operating income dropped -8.0% to ¥17.5B and net income fell -3.6% to ¥16.8B.
  • Operating cash flow grew +14.0% to ¥53.5B. With capital expenditure at ¥49.7B, free cash flow shrank -68.2% to ¥3.81B.

What drove the change

  • Volumes went up, but weaker overseas product prices and cheaper raw materials pushed selling prices down
  • An inventory valuation gain in the prior year turned into a loss, and fixed manufacturing costs and SG&A both rose
  • Spending increased on plants under construction, including one for lithium-ion battery electrolyte

Things to watch

  • Key raw materials track crude oil and naphtha prices, and sharp rises may not be passed on to customers in full or on time
  • The Materials business faces tough competition and swings with market prices; a slow shift toward Solutions would hurt earnings
  • Many plants and sales offices are overseas, so currency moves and local political or economic shifts affect results
