Recent Overview
Net sales increased, but operating income declined 9.4% year on year due to higher costs
In the Chemicals Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales increased 2.3% year on year to ¥58,919 million, contributing to a record-high net sales figure since the start of quarterly disclosure. By region, domestic sales (steel and automotive fields) increased slightly, and the Asia region drove sales growth, while the Europe and US region remained sluggish. On the profit side, the continued high level of raw material prices, combined with increases in personnel expenses and depreciation and amortization, led to a significant decline in operating income to ¥9,363 million (down 9.4% year on year).
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued sales expansion in the Asia region (China, India, Southeast Asia)
- A gradual recovery trend in sales volume in the domestic steel and automotive fields
- Policy of further overseas business expansion under the 5th Medium-Term Management Plan (starting FY2026 (ending March 2026))
- Strengthened R&D capabilities and development of high-value-added products through the opening of the new Comprehensive Technology Research Institute (Parker Innovation Center)
- Capturing new demand through the advancement of surface modification technology development that contributes to a decarbonized society
Risks
- Cost pressure and declining profit margins due to the continued high level of raw material prices
- Deteriorating profitability due to increases in personnel expenses and depreciation and amortization
- Risk of declining demand due to reduced automobile production volumes (in Japan, Thailand, the US, etc.)
- Impact on Asia business from the slowdown in the Chinese economy and sluggish sales of Japanese automakers
- Risk of continued sluggish sales trends in the Europe and US region
- Foreign exchange risk (reduction in translated overseas sales amid yen appreciation)
- Risk of structural changes in demand for existing products due to the accelerating shift to EVs in the automotive industry
