Results for this period
Third quarter1 January 2026 to 30 September 2026ConsolidatedJapanese GAAPThe width of the band at each stage is based on revenue. The narrower it becomes toward the bottom, the smaller the proportion of revenue that remains as profit.
The shaded area represents net assets as a proportion of total assets. It is calculated from the two amounts reported by the company.
Functional materials saw lower revenue and profit due to weaker demand, scheduled maintenance and uncertainty over raw material procurement. Electronic materials saw higher revenue and profit, driven by increased demand related to generative AI and improved profitability for high-purity solvents used in advanced semiconductors. Basic chemicals avoided a decline in profit and posted substantial profit growth through price pass-through and profitability improvement, despite lower sales volumes.

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.In functional materials, sales volumes declined due to weak air-conditioner demand in China, major scheduled maintenance and uncertainty over raw material procurement arising from the situation in the Middle East. Electronic materials performed well, including high-purity solvents for semiconductors, against a backdrop of demand related to generative AI. In basic chemicals, sales volumes declined, but the company proceeded with passing soaring raw material costs through to prices and initiatives to improve profitability.
