Business Details
The business centers on the refining and sale of secondary alloy ingots (for die casting and for castings) made from aluminum scrap. The structure includes supply to the Die Casting Business within the group (inter-segment internal sales), resulting in a high degree of dependence on demand within the group. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales weight decreased 10.4% year on year; however, as sales unit prices also tended to rise in line with the increase in purchase unit prices, segment profit increased year on year.
Recent Overview
Sales weight fell 10.4% but profit rose 11.9% year on year on higher sales unit prices
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales weight decreased 10.4% year on year, and net sales declined to ¥6,622 million (down 8.2% year on year). On the other hand, as sales unit prices also tended to rise in response to increases in purchase unit prices, profitability improved, and segment profit increased to ¥253 million (up 11.9% year on year). Inter-segment internal net sales decreased to ¥3,588 million from ¥4,210 million in the prior period, and the contraction in demand within the group, together with the decline in external net sales (¥6,622 million), pushed down the top line.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Improvement in top line and profit margin due to higher sales unit prices (in FY2026 (ending March 2026), segment profit increased 11.9% year on year despite a decline in sales weight)
- Room for expansion of internal demand accompanying a recovery in orders at the group's Die Casting Business (Japan, North America, Asia)
- Securing spread through coordinated management of aluminum purchase prices and sales unit prices
Risks
- Risk of continuation of the declining trend in sales weight (down 10.4% year on year in FY2026 (ending March 2026))
- Impact of fluctuations in the aluminum ingot market (LME prices) on purchase costs and sales unit prices
- Dependence on order trends at the group's Die Casting Business (a high proportion of inter-segment internal net sales means that contraction in group demand has a direct impact)
- Limited contribution to overall group earnings due to the small scale of segment assets (¥4,330 million)
