- Overview about business performance
- Background to Results
Market conditions were stable across most of the Group’s markets during the third quarter. Prices were improved from previous year in European Architectural markets following capacity reductions made across the region, although volumes were lackluster. Activity also continued to be at a low level across other Architectural regional markets. Automotive markets were also challenging, with volumes being broadly flat across most regions, although volumes strengthened further in South America. Technical glass markets were varied, although the mix of products sold improved from earlier quarters.
Cumulative Group revenues of ¥ 640,565 million (3Q FY2025 ¥ 629,966 million), were higher than the previous year, with a decline in the Architectural and Technical Glass business being offset by an increase in the Automotive business. Operating profits increased to ¥ 18,511 million (3Q FY2025
¥ 10,806 million), with the improvement arising mainly in the Architectural business in Europe. Exceptional items amounted to a net charge of ¥ 710 million (3Q FY2025: net charge of ¥ 2,522 million). Net financial expenses increased to ¥ 21,007 million (3Q FY2025 ¥ 18,192 million) and the Group’s share of the post-tax profit of joint ventures and associates improved to ¥ 4,401 million (3Q FY2025: ¥ 3,706 million). The taxation charge of ¥ 4,881 million (3Q FY2025 ¥ 3,101 million) is calculated based on the effective rate expected for the full-year and also includes a one-off increase in tax provisions. The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥ 5,134 million (3Q FY2025 loss of ¥ 10,079 million).
