Details of the Revision to Earnings Guidance
In the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, net sales remain unchanged at 730,000 million yen from the previous forecast. Operating income has been revised upward to 47,000 million yen (a 6.8% increase from the previous forecast), and ordinary income has been revised upward to 55,000 million yen (a 10.0% increase). Meanwhile, net income attributable to owners of parent is expected to fall short of the previous forecast at a loss of 18,000 million yen due to impairment losses on fixed assets and other factors. Non-consolidated earnings guidance has been revised with similar trends.
Reasons and Assumptions for the Revision
The main reasons for the revision are the ongoing slump in the methanol market, a revised weaker yen exchange rate forecast at the fiscal year-end, and strong sales of BT materials for semiconductor packages. The exchange rates for the remaining months are set 10 yen weaker than the previous forecast at 155 yen per US dollar and 180 yen per euro. Although special income from the sale of non-operating assets is expected in the fourth quarter, impairment losses and other factors recorded in the third quarter are pressuring net income.
