Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, net sales and operating profit increased, and the operating margin improved. However, net income attributable to owners of the parent declined due to the absence of the special gains recognized in the previous fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the Company disclosed a range forecast for net sales only, leaving operating profit and other figures undecided. Annual dividends are expected to decrease to ¥100 per share from the previous fiscal year's actual dividend of ¥111.

Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue increased due to steady shipments for new vessels, appropriate adjustments to selling prices, expanded sales of high-performance, high-value-added products, and a recovery in demand for industrial coatings. Despite higher selling expenses, including transportation costs, and investment in human resources, profitability improved through appropriate adjustments to selling prices and expanded sales of high-value-added and environmentally compatible products. Net income declined due to the absence of the ¥2,694 million in special gains recognized in the previous fiscal year, among other factors.

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.

Net sales increased due to steady shipments for new vessels as shipbuilding volumes rose in China and Japan, appropriate adjustments to selling prices in line with manufacturing costs, growing demand for and expanded sales of high-performance, high-value-added products, and a recovery in demand for industrial coatings. Operating profit increased as profitability improved through appropriate adjustments to selling prices and expanded sales of high-value-added and environmentally compatible products, despite higher transportation costs and investment in human resources. Net income declined mainly because special gains of ¥2,694 million had been recognized in the previous fiscal year. The forecast for the next fiscal year covers net sales only because raw material costs and procurement remain highly uncertain amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.
