Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 (Japanese GAAP) (Consolidated)

Consolidated net sales increased 6.5% year on year, while the operating loss widened due to lower revenue from the dyeing and processing business and higher raw material costs. Net income increased as a result of gains on the sale of investment securities, but the forecast for the next fiscal year was left undetermined because the impact of the situation in the Middle East cannot be reasonably predicted.

Revision to Earnings ForecastRegional salesOrders received and order backlog

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The dyeing and processing business reported lower revenue due to a decline in orders for wool materials caused by the mild winter and changing fashion trends, production adjustments, reduced make-to-order production, and an influx of low-priced Chinese products. The operating loss widened due to higher raw material prices and increased depreciation. The product sales business reported higher revenue and profit, supported by contributions from 2 subsidiaries that became consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to owners of the parent increased mainly because gains on the sale of investment securities were recorded. The forecast for the next fiscal year was left undetermined because the impact of heightened tensions in the Middle East on energy and raw material prices and procurement cannot be reasonably calculated.
