While first-quarter sales declined year over year, profits improved significantly. Operating income rose 46.4% YoY, ordinary income increased by 135.7%, and net income attributable to owners of the parent surged by 211.3%. Contributions came from foreign exchange effects and a weaker yen, as well as reduced interest burden from structural reforms. By segment, polymers posted higher sales and profits, functional materials saw revenue declines but margin improvements, and others declined due to exit effects.\n\n### Outlook and Financial Position\nFull-year guidance remains unchanged. Cash and equivalents declined due to lower total assets and decreases in accrued corporate taxes. Equity increased, and we will continue securing raw materials and expanding suppliers. Dividends remain suspended. For each segment, we will continue to promote higher-functionality product sales and cost reductions, taking market trends into account.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales: 24,108 (YoY \u25b322.0%)\nOperating income: 4,162 (YoY +46.4%)\nOrdinary income: 4,322 (YoY +135.7%)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent: 4,056 (YoY +211.3%)\nTotal assets: 148,775 (YoY \u25b31,929)\nEquity ratio: 38.6% (YoY +2.9 percentage points)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#UnitikaFinancials, #PolymerBusiness, #FunctionalMaterialsBusiness","jir_key_figures":"Sales: 24,108\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY \u25b322.0%)\nOperating income: 4,162\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY +46.4%)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent: 4,056\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY +211.3%)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Unitika Co., Ltd.\u3011First Quarter Results; Revenue Down 22% YoY but Profit Substantially Up | August 2026","jir_meta_description":"Unitika's Q1 FY2027 financial results summary.
