Reason for the revision

The forecasts had been left undetermined because it was difficult to reasonably calculate the impact of the situation in the Middle East. The company has now calculated its consolidated earnings forecasts based on information, forecasts, and other data available at this time. The forecasts include higher selling prices accompanying higher raw material prices, inventory valuation differences, increased production and sales volumes of Solutions products, and wider spreads.

Previous-period resultsInterim period (interim period of the fiscal year ended March 2026): revenue of ¥200,197 million, operating profit of ¥9,011 million, interim profit before tax of ¥10,795 million, interim profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥7,612 million, and basic interim earnings per share of ¥50.43. Full fiscal year (fiscal year ended March 2026): revenue of ¥399,898 million, operating profit of ¥17,530 million, profit before tax of ¥21,493 million, profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥16,764 million, and basic earnings per share of ¥112.15.

The reasons the company gives

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

As it has become possible to reasonably calculate the impact of the situation in the Middle East, the company calculated its earnings forecasts based on information and forecasts available at this time. The forecasts include higher selling prices accompanying higher raw material prices, inventory valuation differences, increased production and sales volumes of Solutions products, and wider spreads, while also factoring in deterioration in foreign exchange gains and losses and increases in fixed manufacturing costs, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. The dividend forecast was determined after comprehensively considering the shareholder return policy and the earnings forecasts announced this time.
