Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending December 2026 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 9 February 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document.
Although a certain effect from sales price revisions is expected in the second half, it is difficult to reasonably estimate second-half demand trends and the impact on costs given the outlook for crude oil prices, base oil and additive prices, logistics costs and foreign exchange rates, as well as supply-demand tightness, supply constraints, and trends in price revisions and shipment restrictions. Accordingly, only the sales forecast has been revised, while the earnings forecasts remain unchanged.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For the interim period, results exceeded the forecast due to steady sales volume, continued supply of key products, the effects of sales price revisions, the limited impact of higher raw material prices as a result of inventory drawdowns and other factors, and a decrease in retirement benefit expenses reflecting improved conditions for managing pension assets. For the full year, although the effects of sales price revisions are expected in the second half, the outlook for crude oil, base oil and additive prices, logistics costs, foreign exchange rates, supply and demand, and supply constraints remains uncertain, making it difficult to reasonably estimate demand and the impact on costs. Accordingly, only the sales forecast has been revised, while the earnings forecasts remain unchanged.
