FY2025 H1 Financial Highlights
New facilities for advanced semiconductor materials have been completed, and have commenced product certification and sample shipments toward stable mass production. The investment recovery phase has now begun, while efforts to stabilize mass production continue.
Despite reciprocal tariff impacts, net sales increased to ¥19,349 million, up 3% YoY, driven by steady demand for advanced semiconductor materials.
Operating profit decreased by 57% YoY to ¥937 million, mainly due to ¥1.21 billion in increased costs (depreciation, personnel expansion, etc.) related to new facility operations for future supply expansion, as well as the incidental effect of the lower of cost or market method.
Compared with forecasts, net sales met expectations, while profits were lower due to approximately ¥0.4 billion impact from ※ lower of cost
or market method.

EPS FX Rate (USD) | ¥175 ¥154/$ | ¥71 ¥146/$ | Note: The lower-of-cost-or-market method(LCM) rule is applied when the cost of products exceeds their selling price. In the second quarter, initial start-up of the new facilities and longer processing times for advanced semiconductor materials led to a sharp increase in product costs, which exceeded selling prices and triggered the LCM adjustment. With increased production going forward, the impact is expected to diminish in the second half. | |||||
Variance Analysis: Operating profit
Commenced product certification and sample shipments for the advanced semiconductor production line, resulting in a ¥0.41 billion profit increase from higher sales and production
Depreciation and personnel expenses increased ahead of sales growth, and the launch of the Manufacturing Execution System added further costs, bringing the total increase to ¥1.21 billion.
Additionally, the lower of cost or market method had a negative impact of ¥0.4 billion, resulting in operating profit of¥0.93 billion.

Revisions to FY2025 Earnings Forecast
First-half net sales were roughly in line with forecasts, but profit decreased from the initial plan due to the impact of the lower
of cost or market method of an approximately ¥0.4 billion valuation loss associated with new facility operations.
Growth is expected to continue, driven mainly by demand related to generative AI.
In the second half, profit is expected to increase through higher sales of high-value-added products (unchanged from the initial plan).
The full-year earnings forecast has been revised downward only to reflect a ¥0.4 billion profit decrease in the first half, while keeping the original net sales forecast of ¥41,500 million unchanged.
