「Although formal adoption progressed in some application fields, sales volumes remained small. In application fields with strong potential for mass production, including metal-ion adsorption, gas adsorption, separation membranes and electronic-component encapsulants, evaluations toward formal adoption by customers and end users are continuing.」
The results showed that evaluations toward formal adoption continued in multiple applications and sales volumes remained small. The Material Science business recorded a segment loss of ¥47 million. - FY2026First statedAnnual report
「However, if development at companies evaluating samples is expected to require additional time, or if the company is unable to acquire mass-production customers in the future, fixed costs for the business will continue to be incurred, and the likelihood of commercializing the business and other factors will need to be considered. In that event, the Group’s operating results and financial condition may be affected.」
The company identified for the first time as a particularly important risk the possibility that fixed costs for nanoscale zeolite could continue due to prolonged development before mass-production adoption or failure to acquire mass-production customers, affecting operating results and financial condition.
