First Quarter Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 (Japanese GAAP, Consolidated)

Overview of Results

During the first quarter cumulative period, net sales rose significantly to 72,512 million yen, with notable contributions from all segments. Operating income reached 6,930 million yen and ordinary income 7,143 million yen, marking substantial profit growth. Quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent expanded sharply to 5,691 million yen. In the segment breakdown, all four segments—Electronic Functional Materials, Aluminum Copper, Device Materials, and Metal Processing—achieved year-over-year increases in both sales and profit. A revised allocation method for reportable segments was applied, so comparability should be considered with caution.

Outlook and Dividends

The company announced revisions to the consolidated earnings forecast and dividend outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2027, raising the initial figure. Segment-specific revisions were disclosed as well, and supported by elevated nonferrous metal prices and solid demand related to semiconductors, suggesting full-year results will exceed initial guidance.
