- FY2026Headwinds to the goal of generating stable profits due to higher revenue but lower profit for the full yearAnnual report
「During the fiscal year, demand for materials used in advanced semiconductors expanded, and sales of materials for advanced photolithography and high-purity solvents in the Chemicals Business remained strong. As a result, net sales increased to ¥41,956 million, up ¥3,291 million, or 8.5%, year on year. In terms of profit, depreciation and fixed costs, including costs related to increased staffing, rose substantially from the beginning of the period following the start of operations at large-scale facilities for advanced semiconductor materials and a production information system. However, increased sales of high-value-added products absorbed part of the higher fixed costs toward the second half of the fiscal year. Operating profit was ¥3,668 million, down ¥434 million, or 10.6%, year on year, ordinary profit was ¥3,592 million, down ¥404 million, or 10.1%, and net profit for the year was ¥2,692 million, down ¥586 million, or 17.9%.」
For the full year, net sales increased 8.5%, while operating profit, ordinary profit and net profit for the year all declined due to higher fixed costs and depreciation, among other factors. - FY2026-H1Headwinds to the goal of generating stable profits due to higher revenue but lower profitAnnual report
「During the interim accounting period, sales of photoresist materials for advanced semiconductors and high-purity solvents remained firm, while sales of general-purpose products and fragrance materials declined, resulting in net sales of ¥19,349 million, up ¥605 million, or 3.2%, year on year. In terms of profit, depreciation increased by ¥929 million following the start of operations at large-scale facilities for photoresist materials for advanced semiconductors, while fixed costs, including those related to increased staffing, also rose. In addition, the lengthening of processes for cutting-edge materials and the impact of the lower-of-cost-or-market method, amounting to approximately ¥400 million, resulted in operating profit of ¥937 million, down ¥1,241 million, or 57.0%, year on year, ordinary profit of ¥831 million, down ¥1,229 million, or 59.7%, and interim net profit of ¥570 million, down ¥821 million, or 59.0%.」
Although net sales increased 3.2% year on year, operating profit and other profit measures declined substantially due to higher depreciation and fixed costs associated with facility operations and the impact of the lower-of-cost-or-market method. - FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「During the interim accounting period, sales increased, mainly for materials used in advanced semiconductors, resulting in net sales of ¥18,743 million, up ¥3,688 million, or 24.5%, year on year. In terms of profit, the increase in sales resulted in operating profit of ¥2,178 million, up ¥880 million, or 67.9%, year on year, ordinary profit of ¥2,060 million, up ¥706 million, or 52.1%, and interim net profit of ¥1,391 million, up ¥474 million, or 51.7%.」
Higher sales of materials for advanced semiconductors resulted in first-half net sales up 24.5% and operating profit up 67.9%, indicating a recovery in performance toward stable profit generation. - FY2024Full-Year Revenue and Profit DeclineAnnual report
「However, affected by weak semiconductor demand and inventory adjustments from the beginning of the fiscal year, net sales for the fiscal year declined to ¥31,956 million, down ¥2,200 million, or 6.4%, year on year. In terms of profit, despite pursuing ongoing productivity improvements, cost controls and inventory reductions amid lower sales, operating profit was ¥3,512 million, down ¥1,456 million, or 29.3%, year on year, ordinary profit was ¥3,393 million, down ¥1,728 million, or 33.7%, and net profit for the year was ¥2,396 million, down ¥1,430 million, or 37.4%.」
Despite pursuing productivity improvements, cost controls and inventory reductions, the full year saw lower revenue and lower profit due to weak semiconductor demand and inventory adjustments. - FY2024-Q3Continued lower revenue and lower profit in the third quarterAnnual report
「Under these conditions, we advanced the five-year medium-term management plan Beyond500, launched in the fiscal year starting March 2023, and worked to strengthen supply capacity for the semiconductor market, where demand was expected to recover. However, affected by weak semiconductor demand and inventory adjustments from the beginning of the period, net sales for the third quarter declined to ¥23,095 million, down ¥2,651 million, or 10.3%, year on year.」
While working to strengthen supply capacity, cumulative net sales for the third quarter declined due to weak semiconductor demand and inventory adjustments, and headwinds to the goal of generating stable profits have continued. - FY2024-Q2Headwinds to the goal of generating stable profits due to lower revenue and lower profit in the first halfAnnual report
「Affected by weak semiconductor demand and further inventory adjustments across the supply chain, net sales for the second quarter declined to ¥15,055 million, down ¥2,498 million, or 14.2%, year on year. In terms of profit, although we pursued ongoing productivity improvements and cost reductions in response to lower sales volumes, the decline in net sales resulted in operating profit of ¥1,297 million, down ¥1,555 million, or 54.5%, year on year, ordinary profit of ¥1,354 million, down ¥1,924 million, or 58.7%, and net profit for the quarter of ¥917 million, down ¥1,330 million, or 59.2%.」
The first half saw lower revenue and lower profit due to weak semiconductor demand and inventory adjustments. Although the Company pursued productivity improvements and cost reductions, the reported results created headwinds to stable profit generation. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
