Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Dec 2025 was ¥323B, down 7.8% from ¥350.1B.
  • Profit moved the other way: operating income climbed 33.3% from ¥19.4B to ¥25.9B.
  • Net income attributable to owners was ¥20.1B, after a -¥56.5B loss the year before.
  • Operating cash flow slipped 13.3% to ¥55.9B, while free cash flow rose 38.5% to ¥13B.

What drove the change

  • Sales fell mainly because the German graphite electrode unit was sold, and carbon black prices and volumes dropped as tire makers cut production.
  • Profit improved thanks to cost cuts and lower depreciation after last year's impairment in Smelting and Lining, plus consolidating graphite electrode production in Japan. Both segments returned to an operating profit.
  • Net income also got a lift from one-off gains on selling cross-held shares.

Things to watch

  • Much of the company's sales depend on the auto, semiconductor and steel industries, so a sharp downturn there would hurt sales and margins.
  • Many products face steady price pressure from competitors, which could cost market share and margin.
  • A stronger yen against the dollar and euro tends to weigh on results.
