Summary of Results
For the second quarter of fiscal year ending March 2027, net income attributable to owners of parent was 63.6 billion yen, with a full-year outlook of 130.0 billion yen. Progress toward the full-year target is approximately 49%. Price increases in the chemical sector contributed positively, while Automotive, Consumer Lifestyle, and Agribusiness showed slower progress. Segment expansion was noted in Marine Products, Capella (infrastructure development), and energy-related businesses. The sale of the GC/LV raw coal business was decided, and the capital policy continues to emphasize enhanced shareholder returns.
Outlook and Impact on Investors
Under the medium-term plan, the company will continue growth investments and maintain a policy to allocate 30% of underlying operating cash flow to shareholder returns and 30% to growth investments. Although there is no change to the full-year outlook, differences in progress across segments mean that the pace of structural reforms and the profitability realization of new investments will be key. Expansion of Capella consolidation in Australia and growth of U.S. energy solutions are positioned as major growth drivers.
