Key Points of the Revision to Earnings Guidance
This document announces revisions to consolidated and standalone interim (second quarter) and full-year forecasts for the fiscal year ending February 2027. Against the backdrop of domestic and international demand trends and inflationary effects for petroleum-derived products, the cosmetics industry as a whole has experienced sluggish shipments and delayed cost pass-through. As a result, both consolidated and standalone full-year forecasts have been revised downward. In particular, consolidated profits are expected to fall significantly. While sales are expected to be maintained or slightly higher than the previous forecast assuming recovery of the French subsidiary, profits are expected to be substantially lower.
Outlook and Impact
Although an order recovery is expected from the third quarter onward, sales in the third and fourth quarters are expected to be lower than in the second quarter, and full-year results are expected to fall short of the previous forecast. Costs associated with the newly established Komoro plant will continue to be recorded, but improved plant operations are expected to contribute to profit recovery going forward. A recovery in sales at the French subsidiary could drive consolidated performance recovery, but profit declines domestically are expected to weigh on overall results.
