Results for the First Three Quarters of FY2025
-
Overview: Both sales and profit decreased. Sales remained on par with the previous year despite a stronger yen compared with the weaker yen in the previous year. Operating profit has been improving since Q1. In Q3, both sales and profit increased year on year. While Polymers and Coatings and Packaging Materials segments were the performance drivers, profit from colorants and functional materials decreased due to the weak performance of CNT dispersions and CF materials.
- Overseas, the performance of optical pressure sensitive adhesives for displays and functional films for mobile devices, among other products, remained strong in China. Gravure inks and can coatings remained strong in Japan and other countries. Among CF materials, products for small and midsize panels remained weak. The performance of UV curable inks remained below the year-ago level due to high raw material prices and increased competition in some markets. In Japan, improvements in pigments and functional coatings made progress and contributed to profit.
-
Profit attributable to owners of parent: Profit declined year on year due to a decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities.
FY2025 outlook
- Performance: There are no revisions to the forecast that was announced on August 8, 2025.
-
Business:
Products including optical pressure sensitive adhesives, functional films, and can coatings are expected to remain strong. No major change is anticipated for CF materials while the performance of sensor-related materials is expected to remain solid. Full-scale shipments of CNT dispersions for LiBs for a major customer in China are expected to begin. For UV curable inks, the aim will be to keep pace with competitive counterpart products.
Prices of naphtha-derived raw materials, which have been declining, are expected to stabilize. Prices of raw materials for UV curable inks and silver, among other products, are expected to remain high. The effects of cost reductions and price
revisions are expected to continue.
