Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 [Japanese GAAP]

In the first quarter, net sales decreased 6.7% year on year due in part to the consolidation of U.S. operations into one plant, while operating profit increased 3.6% as a result of passing higher costs through to selling prices, streamlining measures and improved profitability in the North American business. Ordinary profit increased 73.8%, partly because foreign exchange losses turned into foreign exchange gains, while profit attributable to owners of the parent turned from a loss into a profit.

Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Net sales declined due in part to lower sales resulting from the consolidation of U.S. operations into one plant. Operating profit increased as a result of passing higher raw material prices and energy costs through to selling prices, streamlining measures including expense reductions and productivity improvements, and improved profitability in the North American business following the consolidation into one U.S. plant. Ordinary profit increased mainly because foreign exchange losses turned into foreign exchange gains.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Although net sales declined due in part to lower sales resulting from the consolidation of U.S. operations into one plant, operating profit increased as a result of passing higher raw material prices and energy costs through to selling prices, streamlining measures including expense reductions and productivity improvements, and improved profitability in the North American business following the consolidation into one U.S. plant. The increase in ordinary profit was mainly due to foreign exchange losses turning into foreign exchange gains.
