Supplementary Materials for the Second-Quarter Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, sales increased, while operating profit and ordinary profit declined due to higher raw material costs and advertising expenses, and net income increased due to a gain on the sale of investment securities. The targets for the final year of the medium-term management plan and the full-year earnings forecast were revised downward in light of the deterioration in the external environment.

The reasons the company gives

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

Sales were supported by gloves, air care products and other products. Operating profit declined due to higher raw material costs resulting from the situation in the Middle East, disposal and valuation losses, and increases in marketing expenses and other SG&A expenses. Net income increased due to a gain on the sale of investment securities. The downward revision to the medium-term plan reflected higher costs resulting from the worsening situation in the Middle East and other factors, as well as failure to meet the plan.
