Forecast and actual results for the 2nd quarter of the consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ending December 2026, and revisions to the full-year consolidated earnings forecast

Section header

As an overview, we disclosed the difference between the consolidated earnings forecast and actual results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, and based on this, we revised the full-year consolidated earnings forecast and dividend forecast. Revenue is expected to exceed the previous forecast, and operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent have been upwardly revised. The special gains from the sale of policy-held shares have contributed to the improvement of financial indicators. Going forward, we will aim for stable profit growth while considering raw material procurement risks and Middle East developments.

Going forward, earnings revisions may occur depending on costs of materials and Middle East conditions.
