FY Year 8 December Term 2nd Quarter Consolidated Financial Report [Japanese Standards] (Coupled)

Performance Overview

In the interim consolidated results, net sales were 8,672 million yen, a slight decrease year over year. While operating income and ordinary income declined, net income attributable to owners of the parent increased significantly. Segment-wise, apparel and interior materials, electronics, fine chemicals, real estate, and others showed mixed movements, with rising costs of raw materials and exchange rate impacts weighing on profitability, though some segments contributed to profit growth. The full-year outlook remains unchanged.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

For the full year, full-year net sales of 18,500 million yen, full-year operating income of 800 million yen, and full-year net income attributable to owners of the parent of 520 million yen are projected, but net income is expected to decline versus the previous year. The results may be affected by stabilization of raw materials, exchange rate trends, and segment-specific demand. There is no plan to revise the dividend forecast, and the current dividend policy is likely to be maintained.
