Financial Results Presentation for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, net sales and operating profit exceeded both the year-earlier period and the plan. The shift toward higher-priced products, strong sales of insect control products, and lower-than-planned selling, general and administrative expenses drove the increase in profit, while net income attributable to owners of the parent was below the year-earlier period and the full-year plan was unchanged.

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 benefited from strong shipments and sell-through, mainly of new domestic insect control products, the consolidation of Protoleaf in the gardening products business, higher overseas sales, and an increase in the number of Comprehensive Environmental Hygiene contracts. Operating profit exceeded the plan due to an increase in gross profit from higher sales, an improved gross profit margin resulting from the shift toward higher-priced products, and selling, general and administrative expenses coming in below plan. The year-on-year decline in net income attributable to owners of the parent was affected by the special gain of ¥349 million recorded in the previous year, among other factors.
