日本特殊塗料, also known as 日特塗, reported consolidated ordinary profit of ¥4.34 billion for the first half (April–September), up 53.9% year on year and exceeding the previous forecast of ¥3.5 billion. Progress against the full-year plan was 59.2%, and second-half earnings are calculated as expected to decline.
日本特殊塗料 released its earnings report on 12 November. Consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April–September) was ¥4.34 billion, more than twice the year-earlier level. The pre-revision full-year plan was ¥7.35 billion, and the latest results represented 59.2% progress toward achieving that plan.
Results for the July–September quarter were ¥2.01 billion, up 47.0% year on year, while the operating profit margin on sales improved from 5.6% to 6.1%. First-half earnings therefore remained solid, while second-half profit is expected to decline year on year.
The company estimates that second-half consolidated ordinary profit will decline approximately 25% year on year, implying second-half earnings of around ¥3.0 billion. Future earnings trends will be watched in light of the latest results and progress against the full-year plan.
