Notes:
Breakdown of second-quarter dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025: Ordinary dividend: ¥53.00, Commemorative dividend: ¥10.00.
Breakdown of year-end dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 Ordinary dividend: ¥57.00, Commemorative dividend: ¥10.00.
The Company conducted a 4-for-1 stock split of its common shares, with a record date of September 30, 2025, and an effective date of October 1, 2025. The year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, stated above reflects the amount after the stock split. Because of the implementation of the stock split, the annual dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, cannot be calculated by simply adding the second-quarter dividend and the year-end dividend and therefore is not stated. If the stock split had not been implemented, the year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, would be ¥72.00 and the total annual dividend would be ¥144.00.

Review of operating results
In the consolidated fiscal year under review, while sales in the Environmental Solutions business were on a par with the previous year, the Electronic Materials business and Industrial Infrastructure business posted significant sales growth, and the Wellness business also recorded higher revenue. As a result, consolidated net sales for the Group increased year on year.
On the profit front, there were factors putting downward pressure on earnings, including higher personnel expenses, surging raw material prices and energy and logistics costs, and an increase in depreciation. However, supported by higher revenues in the Electronic Materials business and Industrial Infrastructure business, as well as profit enhancement initiatives such as improvements in production efficiency and the pass-through of higher costs to selling prices, operating income and ordinary income increased year on year. In addition, although the Group recorded impairment losses of 1,414 million yen, this was more than offset by a gain on sale of investment securities of 690 million yen and the use of multiple special corporate tax credit programs, which helped decrease the corporate tax burden. Consequently, profit attributable to owners of parent also increased year on year.
ZACROS's consolidated net sales for the fiscal year under review were ¥158,535 million, reflecting a 5.2% increase over the previous year. Operating income rose 9.3%, to ¥11,054 million; ordinary income increased 18.7%, to
¥12,303 million; and net income attributable to owners of parent grew 18.0%, to ¥7,707million. The performance of the Company's businesses follows.
Wellness
Pharmaceutical and medical packaging materials and single-use bags for biopharmaceutical manufacturing (BioPhaS
®) recorded sales growth, resulting in increased revenue for the segment overall. The positive impact of higher sales notwithstanding, segment operating income declined owing to increased depreciation expenses from the new building at the Company's Mie Plant and ongoing upfront investments to expand sales of single-use bags for BioPhaS
®.
Net sales for the segment were ¥27,849 million, a 2.6% year-over-year increase, whereas its operating loss was ¥201 million, compared with operating profit of ¥523 million in the same period of the previous year.
Environmental Solutions
Although sales of refill packaging and OA equipment-related packaging increased, overall sales decreased because of factors such as sluggish liquid container sales at overseas subsidiaries and the impact of the previous year's sale of part of the food packaging business. Despite deteriorating profitability at overseas subsidiaries, segment operating income increased because of increased refill packaging and OA equipment-related packaging sales.
Net sales for the segment amounted to ¥32,559 million, a 0.4% decrease from the previous year, and operating income was ¥1,459 million, an increase of 12.5%.
Electronic Materials
Display-related material sales posted only a slight increase due to sluggish production at the Company's Taiwan subsidiary. However, in electronic component-related and other products, sales of interlayer insulation films increased on the back of growth in the semiconductor market centered on AI applications, resulting in higher overall sales for the segment. Despite declining profitability at the Taiwan subsidiary, segment operating income rose because of increased sales of electronic component-related and other products.
Net sales for the segment reached ¥56,800 million, up 5.3% over the previous year, and operating income was ¥4,770 million, an increase of 13.4%.
Industrial Infrastructure
Building material sales of air-conditioning pipes, void slab floor structural materials for housing complexes, and industrial chimneys increased. Chemical product sales also increased, supported by strong demand for adhesive products for automotive film applications. The segment recorded increased sales and profits.
Segment net sales were ¥41,325 million, 11.8% higher than in the previous year, and operating income rose 22.9%, to ¥5,026 million.

Overview of financial position
At the end of the fiscal year, ZACROS's total assets at the end of the consolidated fiscal year under review increased by 2,864 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 156,791 million yen, mainly due to an increase in property, plant and equipment and inventories, despite a decrease in short-term securities.
Total liabilities decreased by 779 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 52,452 million yen, as a decrease in accounts payable and trade payables more than offset an increase in long-term and short-term borrowings.
Total net assets increased by 3,644 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 104,339 million yen, mainly due to an increase in retained earnings, and the equity ratio was 60.5%.
-
Overview of cash flows
Cash and cash equivalents-hereinafter, funds-at the end of the fiscal year decreased ¥8,185 million from the previous fiscal year-end, to ¥14,295 million.
The status and main factors for cash flows are as follows:
Cash flows from operating activitiesNet cash provided by operating activities was ¥11,781 million, compared with ¥6,588 million in the previous fiscal year. The increase owed itself to such factors as income before income taxes of ¥11,438 million and depreciation of ¥6,978 million, offset by factors that included a decrease in accounts payable, an increase in inventories and income taxes paid, and a decrease in trade payables.
Cash flows from investing activitiesNet cash used in investing activities was ¥20,069 million, compared with ¥17,462 million in the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to outflows for the acquisition of tangible fixed assets of ¥21,284 million, despite inflows from subsidies received.
Cash flows from financing activitiesNet cash provided by financing activities in the current consolidated fiscal year was ¥191 million (compared with ¥269 million provided in the same period of the previous fiscal year). This change was mainly due to cash inflows such as proceeds from long-term borrowings and a net increase in short-term borrowings, although there were cash outflows such as payments for the acquisition of treasury shares and dividend payments.
Trends in the Company's cash flow indicators are as follows:

Notes:
All indicators are calculated on a consolidated basis using the following formulas: Equity ratio = Equity / Total assets
Market-based equity ratio = Market capitalization / Total assets
Interest-bearing debt to cash flow ratio = Interest-bearing debt / Operating cash flow Interest coverage ratio = Operating cash flow / Interest paid
Market capitalization is calculated as the fiscal year-end closing share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding at year-end, excluding treasury shares.
Interest-bearing debt includes all liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets for which interest is paid.
Operating cash flow and interest paid are based on cash flows from operating activities and interest paid as recorded in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Outlook
The current medium-term management plan, which targets achieving a 12% return on equity (ROE) in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2031, will reach its final year in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. We have been promoting business model and portfolio transformation through active investment and advancing balance sheet reforms. To further enhance corporate value, we will continue initiatives to improve the competitiveness and capital efficiency of each business, while also promoting "solution-creating activities," and "custom manufacturing," which generate new solutions by combining products and services.
Many of the products we manufacture and sell use petroleum-derived raw materials and may be significantly affected by developments in the Middle East. In addition, although not directly related to the Middle East situation, some products are seeing changes in demand trends compared with the previous fiscal year. Our earnings forecast is based on the following assumptions.
Production
The Group places the highest priority on stable supply of products to customers and assumes that it will secure raw materials and maintain production volumes throughout the year.
Higher raw material and energy costs
For some of the raw materials used by the Group, we expect price increases at unprecedented levels and have estimated the impact based on the status of price negotiations at this time.
Price pass-through
Giving top priority to stable supply of products to customers, the Group is negotiating with customers so that they will understand and cooperate in accepting price revisions reflecting higher raw material and energy costs.
Demand trends for major products
Demand trends for major products are described in the performance forecasts for each segment.
Foreign exchange rate
We assume an exchange rate of 155 yen to 1 U.S. dollar.
Based on these assumptions, the outlook for each segment in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 is as follows.
In the Wellness business, which aims to "realize a healthy and sound lifestyle for society and people," we will work to accurately capture medical needs in Japan and overseas and to secure orders for pharmaceutical and medical packaging. In bio-related fields, we have been strengthening our production structure in anticipation of continued growth in demand for single-use bags for biopharmaceutical and other manufacturing. While we have been increasing spending on research and development and related areas in recent years, we will now create clearer priorities through selection and concentration in promising fields and optimize resource allocation so that the Wellness business grows
into a core pillar of our earnings base.
In the Environmental Solutions business, which aims to "realize a circular society by balancing convenience and environmental impact reduction," we will advance our overseas expansion in line with the expansion of global markets for consumer and industrial packaging and promote product development and manufacturing that help reduce environmental impact. For liquid containers, in response to increasing demand primarily in Asia year by year, we will consider building an optimal global supply system.
In the Electronic Materials business, our policy is to "continuously capture changes toward the realization of a smart society of the future and deliver unique solutions." Demand for protective films in display-related applications is expected to weaken due to production adjustments from the second quarter onward, but in electronic components, demand is increasing, particularly for interlayer insulating materials for semiconductor packages used in information recording materials, against the backdrop of rapid growth in AI-related markets. To reliably meet this demand, we will strengthen our supply structure and work to further increase sales.
In the Industrial Infrastructure business, we will accurately capture rising needs for labor-saving and manpower-saving solutions at construction sites, advance development of lightweight and highly insulative products, and strengthen proposal activities through differentiated system proposals and infrastructure development that contributes to improved quality and productivity.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the Group forecasts consolidated net sales of 176.0 billion yen (up 11.0% year on year), operating income of 11.2 billion yen (up 1.3% year on year), ordinary income of 11.5 billion yen (down 6.5% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of the parent of 6.5 billion yen (down 15.7 year on year).
This earnings forecast is based on information available at this time. The outlook for the business environment remains uncertain due to geopolitical risks, including the situation in the Middle East, and other factors. If external factors deviate significantly from our assumptions and materially affect results, we will promptly review the impact and issue an announcement.
- Basic policy on profit distribution and dividends for the fiscal year under review and subsequent fiscal year
ZACROS considers returning profits to its shareholders and improving ROE to be among its highest priorities. We aim to provide stable and continuous dividends, with a target payout ratio of 40%.
For the year-end dividend for the fiscal year under review, taking into consideration full-year results such as profit attributable to owners of parent, we plan to pay a dividend of 18 yen per share. As a result, total annual dividends for the fiscal year are expected to be 36 yen per share (after taking the stock split into account, consisting of an interim dividend of 18 yen and a year-end dividend of 18 yen). The Company implemented a four-for-one stock split of its common shares, with September 30, 2025, as the record date and October 1, 2025, as the effective date. If the stock split is not taken into account, the annual dividend for the fiscal year would be 144 yen per share.
With respect to dividends for the next fiscal year, we will consider future business performance, financial position, capital investment plans and other factors. At present, however, we plan to pay annual dividends of 36 yen per share (an interim dividend of 18 yen and a year-end dividend of 18 yen), the same level as for the current fiscal year.

Not applicable.
(Notes on changes in presentation methods) Consolidated Balance SheetIn the previous consolidated fiscal year, "Electronically recorded monetary claims-trade" were included in "Notes receivable-trade" under "Current assets" and "Electronically recorded obligations-operating" were included in "Notes and accounts payable-trade" under "Current liabilities." As of the fiscal year under review, they are presented separately to enhance clarity. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the previous consolidated fiscal year have been reclassified to reflect these changes in presentation method.
The amounts presented as "Notes receivable-trade" of ¥6,299 million, under "Current assets" in the consolidated balance sheet for the previous consolidated fiscal year have been reclassified as "Notes receivable-trade" of ¥757 million and "Electronically recorded monetary claims-trade" of ¥5,542 million. Additionally, the amount presented as "Notes and accounts payable-trade" of ¥22,695 million under "Current liabilities" has been reclassified as "Notes and accounts payable-trade" of ¥20,481 million and "Electronically recorded obligations-operating" of ¥2,213 million.
In the previous consolidated fiscal year, "Lease liabilities" was included in "Other" under "Noncurrent liabilities". As the amount has become more material, this item is presented separately from the current consolidated fiscal year. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the previous consolidated fiscal year have been reclassified to reflect these changes in presentation method.
As a result, in the consolidated balance sheet for the previous consolidated fiscal year, the ¥1,695 million that had been presented as "Other" under "Noncurrent liabilities" has been reclassified into "Other" of ¥360 million and "Lease liabilities" of ¥1,335 million.
Consolidated statements of cash flowsIn the previous consolidated fiscal year, "Increase (decrease) in other payables-other" was included in "Other" within cash flows from operating activities. As the amount has become more material, this item is presented separately from the current consolidated fiscal year. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the previous consolidated fiscal year have been reclassified to reflect this change in presentation.
As a result, in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the previous consolidated fiscal year, the negative ¥982 million that had been presented as "Other" within cash flows from operating activities has been reclassified into "Increase (decrease) in other payables-other" of ¥309 million and "Other" of negative ¥1,292 million."
(Changes in significant subsidiaries during the fiscal year)ZACROS (WUXI) CO., LTD., established in June 2025, has been included in the scope of consolidation from the consolidated fiscal year, as its importance is expected to increase as a strategic base in the Asian and Chinese markets going forward.

Method of Calculating Net Sales, Profit or Loss, Assets, Liabilities, and Other Items by Reporting Segment
The method for calculating the amounts of net sales, profit or loss, assets, liabilities, and other items for each reporting segment is, in principle, the same as the method used for preparing consolidated financial statements.
The accounting methods for the reported business segments are, in principle, the same as those described in "Significant matters that are the basis for preparing consolidated financial statements."
The profit of reportable segments is based on operating profit.
Information on liabilities by reportable segment is not regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and is therefore not included in the scope of disclosure.
Internal sales and transfers between segments are based on prevailing market prices.

Notes:
Intersegment sales are eliminated in the segment information.
Assets not allocated to reporting segments are company-wide assets, which mainly consist of surplus operating funds (cash and deposits) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries; short-term investment funds (securities); long-term investment funds (investment securities); and assets related to administrative departments.
The total segment profit is consistent with operating profit in the consolidated statements.

Intersegment sales are eliminated in the segment information.
Assets not allocated to reporting segments are company-wide assets, which mainly consist of surplus operating funds (cash and deposits) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries; long-term investment funds (investment securities); and assets related to administrative departments.
The total segment profit or loss is consistent with operating profit in the consolidated statements.
