「As a result of these efforts, the company's operating performance for the fiscal year was as follows. Amid continued weak demand for building materials for new housing, reflecting a decline in new housing starts, we focused on expanding orders in the renovation materials field, supported by government subsidy measures, but this did not offset the decline in orders for building materials for new housing. Sales were therefore ¥7,886 million, compared with ¥8,296 million in the previous fiscal year, down 4.9%, below the previous fiscal year. In terms of profit, reforms to the earnings structure through productivity improvements, cost reductions from operational streamlining, and product price reviews and negotiations resulted in operating profit of ¥9 million, compared with an operating loss of ¥214 million in the previous fiscal year, and ordinary profit of ¥162 million, compared with an ordinary loss of ¥70 million, with both exceeding the previous fiscal year.」
Although sales declined 4.9%, reforms to the earnings structure through productivity improvements, operational streamlining, cost reductions and price reviews and negotiations brought operating profit and ordinary profit back into the black. - 2026-05-15AdvancedEarnings

「In terms of profit, efforts to reform the earnings structure through productivity improvements, operating efficiency, cost reductions and price negotiations produced results above the same period of the previous year, but the decline in profit caused by lower sales could not be offset, resulting in an operating loss. As a result, sales were ¥3,955 million, compared with ¥4,254 million in the same period of the previous year, down 7.0%.」
Although productivity improvements, greater operating efficiency, cost reductions and price negotiations lifted profit above the same period of the previous year, sales declined 7.0% and the operating loss continued. - FY2025WorsenedAnnual report
「In the next fiscal year, although the number of new housing starts is expected to remain sluggish and raw material and other prices are expected to stay high, we will focus on maintaining orders for existing products by strengthening and reviewing our sales structure, acquiring new customers and further developing new products. We will also continue company-wide efforts to reform the earnings structure through productivity improvements, operational streamlining and product price negotiations, as in the previous year.」
Although the company set out measures for the next fiscal year including a stronger sales structure, new customers and products, productivity improvements, streamlining and price negotiations, full-year sales declined 11.9%, operating loss was ¥214 million and ordinary loss was ¥70.4 million. - FY2025-H1WorsenedAnnual report
「Under these circumstances, during the interim accounting period under review, our operating performance was as follows. As the number of new housing starts, particularly detached houses, remained sluggish, orders for our core products, building materials for new housing and housing materials for renovation, declined more than expected, resulting in sales below the same period of the previous year. In terms of profit, although we worked to reform the earnings structure through productivity improvements, cost reductions from operational streamlining and product price negotiations, we were unable to offset the decline in profit caused by higher raw material and fuel costs and lower sales, resulting in an operating loss. As a result, sales were ¥4,254 million, compared with ¥4,940 million in the same period of the previous year, down 13.9%. In terms of profit, operating loss was ¥106 million, compared with an operating loss of ¥33 million in the same period of the previous year; ordinary profit was ¥2 million, compared with ¥63 million, down 96.8%; and interim net loss was ¥5 million, compared with interim net income of ¥37 million.」

「In terms of profit, although we worked to reduce costs through greater operating efficiency and other measures and to improve the profit margin of the renovation business amid continued increases in raw material prices for our core products, we were unable to cover the profit generated by our core products, resulting in performance substantially below the same period of the previous year.」
Although the company worked to improve operating efficiency, reduce costs and improve the renovation business's profit margin, it could not offset the profit from its core products, resulting in an operating loss and substantial declines in ordinary profit and quarterly net income. - FY2024-Q2WorsenedAnnual report
