Strong performance in the Agrochemical segment and foreign exchange gains contributed to expansion of operating income to 5,408 million yen and ordinary income to 6,268 million yen. Net income attributable to owners of parent for the quarter was 4,504 million yen, supported in part by gains on sales of available-for-sale securities. By segment, the Agrochemical business performed strongly, while the Fine Chemicals business experienced declines in both revenue and profit due to demand fluctuations and higher raw material costs.\n\n### Outlook and Organizational Restructuring\nThe full-year consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending November 2026 remain unchanged from the previously announced figures. A note states that the company will disclose any impact from the wastewater incident at the Okayama plant once the effects are confirmed. As a material subsequent event, the company plans to implement an organizational restructuring. The reorganization, with Hokko Chemical Industry as the surviving company and Biei Shira To Kogyo and others as dissolving companies, aims to optimize business and administrative functions and is scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2026.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 44,924 million yen (YoY +3,346 million yen (+8.0%))\nOperating Income: 5,408 million yen (YoY +562 million yen (+11.6%))\nOrdinary Income: 6,268 million yen (YoY +688 million yen (+12.3%))\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 4,504 million yen (YoY +377 million yen (+9.1%))\nShareholders' Equity Ratio: 68.1% (Nearly flat from the previous fiscal year (decrease of 0.03 percentage points))","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HokkoChemicalIndustry, #FinancialSummary, #AgrochemicalBusiness, #OrganizationalRestructuring","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 44,924 million yen\nOperating Income: 5,408 million yen\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 4,504 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Hokko Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. - Third Quarter Financial Summary for FY Nov 2026 | Net Sales ~44,924 million yen, Strong Agrochemical Performance","jir_meta_description":"Key points of Hokko Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.'s third quarter financial summary for the fiscal year ending November 2026: net sales 44,924 million yen, operating income 5,408 million yen, net income attributable to owners of parent 4,504 million yen.
