However, amid continued increases in raw material and logistics costs, operating income reached 407 million yen, ordinary income 400 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent 247 million yen, all lower than the previous period due to decreased profitability despite strong mask-related sales. Prices of major products were adjusted during the term. By segment, mask-related sales remained solid, while environmental-related segments were affected by delays in large machine deliveries.\n\n### Financial Position and Outlook\nTotal assets were 21.382 billion yen, equity ratio 64.4%, cash and cash equivalents 2.839 billion yen. Cash flow: operating activities generated about 794 million yen, investing activities used about 54 million yen, and financing activities used about 725 million yen. The interim-period dividend policy remains unchanged from the latest forecast. The consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026 remains as previously announced. External factors such as persistent high raw material prices and logistics costs should be noted as potential risks.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales: 5,291,000,000 (YoY 3.9% increase)\nOperating income: 407,000,000 (YoY \u25b37.7% decrease)\nOrdinary income: 400,000,000 (YoY \u25b35.9% decrease)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent: 247,000,000 (YoY \u25b315.8% decrease)\nTotal assets: 21,382,000,000 (YoY \u25b31,061,000,000)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KokenCoLtd, #financial_summary, #JapanEquities","jir_key_figures":"Sales: 5,291 million yen (YoY +3.9%)\nOperating income: 407 million yen (YoY \u25b37.7%)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent: 247 million yen (YoY \u25b315.8%)","jir_meta_title":"Koken Co., Ltd.
