Prior-year results were net sales of 170,462 million yen and operating income of 10,567 million yen. Primary factors are increased sales in the pesticides\/agriculture-related and chemical products segments and forex gains, but operating income is expected to decline due to inventory write-downs from generic entrants. ","jir_summary":"### Section heading\nThe revision of the full-year consolidated forecast for the year ending October 2026 announced today presents both an expected increase in net sales and a substantial decrease in operating income. Net sales are expected to rise due to higher sales in the pesticide\/agriculture-related and chemical products segments; however, operating income is expected to decline sharply due to inventory write-downs related to price declines caused by entrants of generic products overseas. Ordinary income is expected to decline less than operating income due to increases in investment income and recognition of foreign exchange gains. Net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to decrease due to impairment of fixed assets and other extraordinary losses related to structural reforms.\n\n### Section 2 heading\nAs the reason for the revision, the growth in net sales is attributed to higher sales in the pesticide\/agriculture-related and chemical products segments, while the impact of raw material costs and price competition is expected to suppress operating income. The outlook notes that results may vary with exchange rate movements and market conditions, and investors should be aware of potential divergences between growth and profitability.
