Net sales increased from the previous forecast of 8,500 million yen to 8,869 million yen, operating income decreased from 70 million yen to 44 million yen, ordinary income decreased from 130 million yen to 114 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent decreased from 50 million yen to 20 million yen. The primary causes were foreign exchange effects and increased packaging and transportation expenses, leading to higher costs and overall results below forecasts.","jir_summary":"### Overview of Earnings Variance\nDifferences arose between the full-year earnings forecast and the actual results for the fiscal year ending August 2026. Net sales increased due to yen depreciation which raised the yen-converted sales and profits of the China plant; however, expenses rose due to increased packaging and transportation costs and foreign exchange losses of 22 million yen, resulting in overall profits falling short of forecasts. Consequently, operating income, ordinary income, net income attributable to owners of parent, and net income per share all fell below forecasts.\n\n### Causes and Focus Areas Going Forward\nThe primary causes are foreign exchange impacts and increased costs. Looking ahead, based on the reasons for the variance described herein, exchange rate movements and cost control will be key to improving profitability. Efforts to correct the variance between actual results and forecasts are expected to continue.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 8,869 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 8,500 million yen; change amount 369 million yen; change rate 4.3%)\nOperating Income: 44 million yen (Decreased from previous forecast of 70 million yen; change amount -26 million yen; change rate -37.1%)\nOrdinary Income: 114 million yen (Decreased from previous forecast of 130 million yen; change amount -16 million yen; change rate -12.3%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 20 million yen (Decreased from previous forecast of 50 million yen; change amount -30 million yen; change rate -60.0%)\nNet Income per Share: 6.57 yen (Decreased from previous forecast of 16.11 yen; change amount -9.54 yen; change rate -59.2%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#AsahiKagakuKogyo, #EarningsVariance, #ForeignExchangeImpact","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 8,869 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 8,500 million yen; change amount 369 million yen; 4.3%)\nOperating Income: 44 million yen (Decreased from previous forecast of 70 million yen; -26 million yen; -37.1%)\nOrdinary Income: 114 million yen (Decreased from previous forecast of 130 million yen; -16 million yen; -12.3%)","jir_meta_title":"Asahi Kagaku Kogyo Co.,Ltd. \u2014 Full-Year Earnings Variance Announcement | Sales Up, Profits Below Forecast","jir_meta_description":"Asahi Kagaku Kogyo Co.,Ltd. announces variances between full-year earnings forecasts and actual results for the fiscal year ending August 2026.
