For the fiscal year ending March 2026, consolidated sales decreased by 28.5% YoY to 9,414 million yen. Operating loss improved to 4,971 million yen from a loss of 7,368 million yen the previous year. Ordinary income was 3,323 million yen in the black, and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 2,610 million yen in the black. The challenging environment persisted due to restrictions on nickel sales volume, price declines, and raw material cost increases, but the recording of investment gains turned ordinary income positive.

Despite continuing restrictions on nickel sales volume and ongoing price challenges, the company plans to advance entry into new businesses and reconfigure its business portfolio to achieve operating profit and stable revenue from the fiscal year ending March 2028 onward.
