Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Second quarter (interim period) and full yearPrevious forecast published 7 August 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document.
For the interim period, the temporary reversal of deferred tax assets, resulting from the reaction to the exceptionally strong performance in the previous fiscal year, increased more than expected. For the full year, the operating and ordinary profit forecasts are being revised upward because pesticide sales in North America and India, electronic-materials sales driven by demand for AI data servers, and sales of functional colorants and fine chemicals are performing well or steadily, while net income is being revised to reflect the recognition of additional restructuring costs as an extraordinary loss.
Additional restructuring costs related to structural reforms in the inorganic chemicals business, including additional retirement payments and other costs associated with the early-retirement incentive program and expenses related to 富士チタン工業 Co., Ltd.'s withdrawal from its titanium dioxide business. Amount: Not disclosed.
