Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥2.33T, down -10.7% from ¥2.61T.
  • Operating income fell -21.4% to ¥151.7B, mainly because a one-off gain tied to Petro Rabigh, its Saudi joint venture, did not repeat.
  • Net income attributable to owners still rose +57.9% to ¥60.9B, since last year's loss from forgiving loans to Petro Rabigh was gone.
  • Operating cash flow held steady at ¥234.8B, up +0.7%.

What drove the change

  • Essential and Green Materials sold much less: Petro Rabigh shut down for scheduled maintenance, and the company had exited aluminum and sold part of its plastics business.
  • Sumitomo Pharma grew in North America on sales of the prostate cancer drug Orgovyx and the overactive bladder drug Gemtesa, while restructuring cut its spending, including R&D.
  • ICT and Mobility Solutions was held back by lower prices for display materials and a stronger yen.

Things to watch

  • Naphtha, the main feedstock for its petrochemicals, can jump in price with Middle East tensions, and profits suffer if price increases reach customers late.
  • A stronger yen shrinks export earnings and the yen value of overseas subsidiaries' profits.
  • Sumitomo Pharma's drug pipeline may not reach approval on schedule, and drug price controls in Japan, the US and China could weigh on sales.
