Revenue increased year-over-year, and both operating and ordinary income rose. Increased sales volumes of copper foil products such as MicroThin and VSP in the Functional Materials segment and a favorable change in inventory factors contributed to the results. However, net income is expected to deteriorate due to the posting of a special loss associated with changes to the retirement benefit plan. The full-year forecast expects continued profit growth compared with the previous forecast, but attention will be paid to second-half inventory trends and the impact of resource prices.\n\n### Outlook and Capital Investment\nThe company has decided to build a new copper foil plant in Malaysia (approx. 1,900 hundred million yen: land approx. 140 hundred million yen, buildings approx. 320 hundred million yen, production equipment, etc. approx. 1,440 hundred million yen). Start of operations will be phased from April 2031. Strengthening production capacity for core copper foil products is expected to significantly expand operating income in fiscal 2030 and fiscal 2033 (3.2x and 5.5x compared with fiscal 2025, respectively).","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue: 4,311 (Year-over-Year +668)\nOperating Income: 575 (Year-over-Year +178)\nOrdinary Income: 609 (Year-over-Year +218)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: Unknown (Unknown)\nDividend per Share (annual): 14 yen (Same as previous year)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#MitsuiKinzoku, #Earnings, #HalfYearResults, #CopperFoilCapacityExpansion","jir_key_figures":"Revenue: 4,311 hundred million yen (Year-over-Year +668 hundred million yen)\nOperating Income: 575 hundred million yen (Year-over-Year +178 hundred million yen)\nOrdinary Income: 609 hundred million yen (Year-over-Year +218 hundred million yen)","jir_meta_title":"Mitsui Kinzoku Announces FY2026 First-Half Results | Revenue 4,311 hundred million yen, Profit Trend Up","jir_meta_description":"Summary of Mitsui Kinzoku's fiscal 2026 first-half results: revenue 4,311 hundred million yen, operating income 575 hundred million yen, ordinary income 609 hundred million yen; full-year outlook, functional materials and metals trends, and new Malaysia plant plan.","jir_og_title":"Mitsui Kinzoku Announces FY2026 First-Half Results \u2014 Profit Trend Up","jir_og_description":"First half saw revenue and profit growth; net income expected to decline due to a special loss from retirement benefit plan revision.
