Recent Overview

Domestic sales volume rose 106.9% year-on-year, exceeding the industry average; overseas business also achieved higher sales and profit aided by newly consolidated entities

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026 (January-March), sales in the Packaging Materials Business were ¥17,841 million (112.7% year-on-year), and segment profit was ¥730 million (111.5% year-on-year). Domestically, despite an increase in the goodwill amortization burden from companies grouped in the prior year and rising labor costs and material prices, the company secured earnings by curbing cost increases through the effect of the previous period's product price revisions and productivity improvements. Overseas, the earnings contribution from Hoang Hai Vietnam Packaging Joint Stock Company, acquired in August 2025, added to the profit increase. Goodwill amortization expense increased to ¥148 million, approximately 2.7 times the amount in the same period of the prior year.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Hoang Hai Vietnam Packaging Joint Stock Company, acquired in August 2025, was newly consolidated and contributed to sales and profit in the Vietnam overseas business
• Domestic sales volume achieved 106.9% year-on-year, exceeding the corrugated board industry average (101.5% year-on-year), maintaining a stable order volume
• The effect of product price revisions implemented in the previous period continued, absorbing rising labor costs and material prices to secure profitability
• Cost increase containment through productivity improvement measures succeeded, achieving higher sales and profit
• Expansion of the domestic and overseas business foundation through M&A, including Vietnam TKT Plastic Packaging Joint Stock Company and Marunaka Shiko Co., Ltd.

Risks

• The goodwill amortization burden from companies grouped in the prior year has increased (¥148 million cumulative in Q1, approximately 2.7 times year-on-year), and there is a risk of impairment materializing if the performance of acquired companies deteriorates
• Rising labor costs and material prices continue, posing a risk of pressure on earnings if the effect of price revisions fails to keep pace
• Uncertainty in U.S. trade policy and tariff trends poses a risk of impact on exports and overseas business
• Because the earnings structure depends on overseas sites in Vietnam, China, Malaysia, and other locations, geopolitical risk, foreign exchange fluctuations, and slowdowns in local economies could affect performance
• Weakness in some areas of personal consumption due to price increases poses a risk of dampening domestic demand for processed foods and fruits/vegetables
• Prolonged tensions in the Russia-Ukraine situation and continued geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could affect the cost structure through sustained high energy and food prices
