Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending February 2027 · Second quarter (interim period) and full yearPrevious forecast published 13 April 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document.
Orders from domestic cosmetics manufacturers fell below expectations amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, some large orders from overseas cosmetics manufacturers were postponed, costs increased due to higher crude oil prices and inflation, particularly for petroleum-derived products, and the passing of higher costs through to order prices was delayed. Sales and earnings at the French consolidated subsidiary are expected to exceed forecasts, supported by the recovery in orders for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and the weaker yen, but the decline in domestic earnings is expected to more than offset this.

Sales and earnings at the French consolidated subsidiary are expected to exceed forecasts, supported by the recovery in orders for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and the weaker yen, but the decline in domestic earnings is expected to more than offset this. |

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Individual results were weighed down by sluggish orders from domestic cosmetics manufacturers amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, the postponement of large overseas orders, higher costs caused by inflation, particularly for petroleum-derived products, and delays in passing higher costs through to prices. Although order recovery at the French consolidated subsidiary and the weaker yen boosted sales, the decline in domestic earnings more than offset these factors.
