However, sustained high raw material and labor costs caused continued cost increases, resulting in operating income of 50 million yen (down 54.4% YoY). Ordinary loss amounted to 14 million yen, and net loss attributable to owners of the parent for the interim period was 21 million yen. The full-year forecast is maintained at net sales of 18,328 million yen, operating income of 261 million yen, and net income of 100 million yen, assuming continued inflation and cost pressures.\n\n### Outlook and Key Points\nThe company will steadily execute measures under the Medium-Term Business Strategy Vision (2022-2026). While cosmetic demand is expected to continue recovering, attention must be paid to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, rising raw material and labor costs, and currency and interest rate movements. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic orders are showing signs of recovery in Europe, whereas the domestic market is impacted by the postponement of new product launches.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 9,155 (14.0% increase YoY)\nOperating Income: 50 (-54.4% YoY)\nOrdinary Income: -14 (-80.0% YoY (approx.))\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (interim): -21 (Turned from profit to loss YoY)\nTotal Assets: 17,898 (+331 compared to fiscal year-end)\nEquity Ratio: 23.4 (-0.8pt vs. previous fiscal year)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NipponShikizai, #Earnings, #Interim, #MediumTermBusinessStrategy","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 9,155 million yen (14.0% increase YoY)\nOperating Income: 50 million yen (-54.4% YoY)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (interim): -21 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Nippon Shikizai, Inc. \u2013 Key Points of FY2027 Second Quarter Results\uff5cAs of End of August 2026","jir_meta_description":"Summary of Nippon Shikizai, Inc.'s FY2027 second quarter results: net sales 9,155 million yen (14.0% YoY increase), operating income 50 million yen, net loss -21 million yen.
