Overview of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2025
Economic Environment and Initiatives
During the first half of the current fiscal year, the Japanese economy showed resilience with a pick-up in personal consumption due to an improvement in the income environment despite rising prices, and an increase in capital investment against the backdrop of robust corporate earnings. However, the outlook remained uncertain due to factors such as developments in the U.S. tariff policy.
Under these circumstances, Iwatani (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") expanded its business to achieve its basic policies of "solutions to social issues" and "sustained growth" in accordance with its medium-term management plan, "PLAN27," which ends in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.
In order to realize a hydrogen energy-based society, an onsite low-carbon hydrogen production and supply project that the Company is jointly undertaking with Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation has been certified as eligible for price gap support under the Hydrogen Society Promotion Act by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The three companies will establish a joint company in March 2027, aiming to commence operations around 2030. In addition, we signed a basic agreement with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for the future utilization of the hydrogen fuel cell ship Mahoroba, which was used for passenger ship operations at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. Through its operation in Tokyo, we will contribute expanding the use of hydrogen for mobility applications.
With regard to our carbon-free strategies, while working to expand the handling of eco-friendly resins, the bio-PP that we began importing and selling was adopted as packaging material by a major domestic cosmetics manufacturer. This bio-PP is the only one in the world manufactured from non-fossil biomass materials, and we aim to expand its adoption in the Japanese market in the future.
Earnings
During the first half of the current fiscal year, despite the negative impact of LPG import price fluctuations and the weakening of the helium market, the recording of a gain on sale of non-current assets resulted in net sales of
409.128 billion yen (+9.123 billion yen year-on-year), operating profit of 10.758 billion yen (-5.381 billion yen year-on-year), ordinary profit of 18.000 billion yen (-2.638 billion yen year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 20.315 billion yen (+6.874 billion yen year-on-year).

Segment Information Integrated Energy
In the Integrated Energy Business, despite steady sales of energy-related equipment, revenue decreased due to the import price of LPG falling below the previous year, leading to a decline in sales prices. As for profits, LPG sales volume decreased in the wholesale sector and there was a negative impact of LPG import price fluctuations (-2.066 billion yen year-on-year), profitability declined. Furthermore, the slowdown in the Chinese economy led to sluggish sales of portable gas cooking stoves and cassette gas canisters.
As a result, net sales in this segment were 156.492 billion yen (-0.770 billion yen year-on-year), and operating loss was 0.211 billion yen (a deterioration of 3.482 billion yen year-on-year).
Industrial Gases & MachineryIn the Industrial Gases & Machinery Business, while sales of hydrogen and hydrogen-related equipment increased, demand for air separation gases in China was sluggish, and the profitability of specialty gases declined due to the weakening of the helium market. In the gas-related equipment, shipments of equipment for the automobile industry and semiconductor industry decreased.
As a result, net sales in this segment were 132.447 billion yen (+3.864 billion yen year-on-year) and operating profit was 5.823 billion yen (-2.165 billion yen year-on-year).
MaterialsIn the Materials Business, sales increased due to efforts to ensure stable supply amid continued export restrictions from China on rare earths and other items. In addition, the sales volume of eco-friendly PET resin increased, and stainless steel sales remained steady due to the impact of new consolidation. On the other hand, the mineral sands business saw deteriorating profitability of our mining sites in Australia, and sales of high-performance film materials, mainly for smartphones, were sluggish.
As a result, net sales in this segment were 104.955 billion yen (+5.800 billion yen year-on-year) and operating profit was 6.074 billion yen (-0.059 billion yen year-on-year).
Others, AdjustmentsNet sales were 15.231 billion yen (+0.230 billion yen year-on-year), and operating profit was 1.531 billion yen (-0.163 billion yen year-on-year).

(Significant revision of the initial allocation of acquisition costs in comparative information)
Although the Company applied provisional accounting treatment for the business combination with ISG, Inc. conducted on November 29, 2024, in the previous fiscal year, it finalized the provisional accounting treatment in the first half of the fiscal year under review. As a result of accordingly having finalized the provisional accounting treatment, significant revisions to the amount initially allocated to acquisition cost have been reflected in the comparative information included in the semi-annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review.
Consequently, the provisionally calculated amount of goodwill, initially 4,082 million yen, has decreased by 1,872 million yen due to the finalization of the accounting treatment, resulting in a revised amount of 2,210 million yen. The decrease in goodwill was due to increases of 2,729 million yen in other intangible assets (customer-related intangible assets) and 856 million yen in deferred tax liabilities.
In addition, on the consolidated balance sheet for the previous fiscal year, goodwill decreased by 1,802 million yen, while other intangible assets (customer-related intangible assets), deferred tax liabilities, and retained earnings increased by 2,653 million yen, 833 million yen, and 17 million yen, respectively.
Additional Information
The Company finalized the provisional accounting treatments for the application of equity method in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and for the business combination in the six months ended September 30, 2025. As a result, figures for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 reflect the finalization of the provisional accounting treatments.

Net sales increased mainly due to robust sales of products for industrial sectors, particularly in the Materials Business, as well as the impact of new consolidations.
As for profits, despite factors such as a decline in helium profitability, the negative impact on profits due to LPG import price fluctuations and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, profit increased due to an increase in share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method, recording of a gain on sale of non-current assets, etc.
