Net sales are unchanged from the previously announced forecast at 9,200 hundred million yen; operating income is 495 million yen; ordinary income is 470 million yen; net income attributable to owners of parent is 350 million yen; and earnings per share are 287.50 yen. Reasons for the revision include firm demand for related chemicals associated with the recovery of domestic automobile production, price revisions and improved sales mix, expansion of exports, and yen depreciation. Conversely, uncertainty in the Middle East may expand the impact of rising raw material costs. Prioritizing procurement of raw materials necessitates careful attention to future raw material price trends.\n\n### Outlook and Risks\nAlthough actual results through 3Q exceeded the plan, the risk of rising raw material costs is expected to increase going forward. Specifically, in addition to stable and expanding domestic demand, changes in exchange rates and export conditions and the strengthening of raw material procurement systems may affect performance. In any case, strategic raw material procurement and the continued effectiveness of pricing strategies are expected to contribute to achieving the full-year targets.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 9,200 hundred million yen (Same as previous forecast)\nOperating Income: 495 million yen (Upward revision from previous forecast of 340 million yen)\nOrdinary Income: 470 million yen (Upward revision from previous forecast of 404 million yen)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 350 million yen (Upward revision from previous forecast of 240 million yen)\nEarnings Per Share: 287.50 yen (Upward revision from previous forecast of 197.15 yen)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KawaguchiChemicalIndustry, #FullYearForecastRevision, #EarningsForecast, #RawMaterialCostRisk","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 9,200 hundred million yen\nOperating Income: 495 million yen\nOrdinary Income: 470 million yen\nNet Income: 350 million yen\nEarnings Per Share: 287.50 yen","jir_meta_title":"Kawaguchi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd Revises Full-Year Earnings Forecast\uff5cFY Ending November 2026","jir_meta_description":"Kawaguchi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd has revised its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending November 2026: net sales 9,200 hundred million yen, operating income 495 million yen, net income 350 million yen.
