Supplementary Explanatory Materials for the Full-Year Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Although revenue is expected to increase in fiscal 2026, operating income, ordinary income and net income are forecast to decline, reflecting higher raw material prices and investment in human capital.

The reasons the company gives

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

In fiscal 2025, profit was weighed down by surging prices for raw materials, contract-manufactured products and acquired products; increased investment in human capital, including base-pay increases; facility maintenance costs; depreciation associated with the renewal of core systems; transportation-related expenses; and milestone payments and clinical trial expenses related to the development progress of DMX-200. In fiscal 2026, revenue is expected to increase on higher sales of core products and other factors, while the forecast incorporates surging raw material prices associated with the situation in the Middle East, higher transportation-related expenses and investment in human capital, including the relocation of the head office.
