Key Points of Performance
Daicel Corporation's second-quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 exceeded the previously announced forecast. Strong sales in the High Performance Polymers business, the pass-through of higher raw material prices, and the impact of a weaker yen contributed to upward revisions mainly to net sales and operating income. While uncertainty over elevated raw material costs is expected to continue into the third quarter and beyond, the full-year forecast has been updated based on interim results.
Outlook and Risks
The company states that future performance may be affected by continued increases in raw material prices and exchange rate fluctuations. The revisions reflect results through the second quarter and demand trends, assuming an exchange rate of 155 yen/USD, Asian methanol spot price of US$550/ton, Dubai crude oil price of US$110/bbl, and domestic naphtha price of 100,000 yen/kl.
