Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 5 August 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document.
The forecast was revised because the impact on earnings of the damage to the Yatsushiro Plant and the tank collapse at an NDP plant can now be reasonably calculated, taking recent earnings trends and other factors into account. The forecast incorporates the impact of NDP’s suspension of operations, earthquake- and disaster-related losses, insurance proceeds, and costs associated with workforce rationalization at Opal and the transfer of its bag-making business.
During the interim consolidated accounting period, the company recorded ¥15.1 billion in losses, including impairment losses on fixed assets and inventory valuation losses related to the Kumamoto Earthquake, as well as fixed costs during the suspension of operations. It also recorded ¥2.2 billion in costs related to the tank collapse at an NDP plant, including chemical cleaning, equipment repairs, accident response and fixed costs during the suspension of operations. The full-year forecast includes approximately ¥20 billion in earthquake losses, approximately ¥11 billion in disaster losses and approximately ¥3 billion in insurance proceeds related to property damage.
