Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending December 2026 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 13 February 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.
Revenue benefited from successful product price increases and marketing initiatives, as well as the yen weakening mainly due to exchange rates moving below the assumptions made at the beginning of the fiscal year. Operating profit is expected to be in line with the previous forecast, as increases in raw material prices are offset by price pass-through and cost reductions, among other measures. Profit before tax and profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent are expected to be slightly below the previous forecast due to the impact of one-off expenses and the tax rate.
One-off expenses, including M&A-related expenses and costs associated with the transformation of DGL's European business, were recorded. The amount was not disclosed.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue was increased because product price increases and marketing initiatives were successful, with the weaker-than-expected yen being the main contributing factor. Profit before tax and profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent were reduced due to the impact of one-off expenses and the tax rate. The operating profit forecast remains unchanged, as the increase in raw material prices is expected to be offset by price pass-through and cost reductions.
