Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net sales increased 1.8% year on year, driven by growth in hand care and other products. However, higher raw material and marketing costs resulted in a shift from an operating profit in the same quarter of the previous year to an operating loss. The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, but the company expects to record a ¥1,794 million gain on the sale of investment securities in the second quarter and is currently reviewing its forecast.

The reasons the company gives

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

Net sales increased on growth in hand care, air care and fabric care. On the earnings front, gross profit declined due to higher raw material costs resulting from the impact of the situation in the Middle East. In addition, marketing expenses increased by ¥295 million because of the rebound from having held back on some TV advertising in the same quarter of the previous year and the airing of TV commercials for new products.
