Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 4 August 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
As no resolution of the situation in the Middle East is expected, naphtha prices and overseas market conditions for major products have remained higher than anticipated, driving up selling prices, and net sales are expected to exceed the previous forecast. Operating income is expected to exceed the previous forecast due to an improvement in the inventory receipt/issue price differential in basic materials and a recovery in demand for semiconductor-related products in high-performance materials. However, given the deterioration in foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the revision of the assumed exchange rates, ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of the parent will remain unchanged.
