What is the business performance and financial condition of the company?
Movements in business performance
Business performance for fiscal year ended March 31, 2026
Net sales were ¥133.8 billion, a decrease of 8.4% from the previous fiscal year, due to reduced vehicle production by major customers in China and Asia and lower chemical product sales.
Operating profit was ¥4.6 billion, an increase of 12.2% from the previous fiscal year, despite higher procurement costs and M&A-related expenses, as a result of sales price adjustments and cost improvement efforts.
Net profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥2.4 billion, an improvement of ¥10.2 billion from the previous fiscal year, reflecting the absence of the loss on the sale of the Mexican subsidiary and impairment losses recorded in the previous fiscal year.
Financial base
We have built a solid financial base while taking into consideration the balance between equity and interest-bearing debt.
Shareholder returns
We have positioned the return of profits to its shareholders as one of its priority management policies. Our basic policy in this regard is to continue distributing stable dividends while securing the internal reserves needed to accommodate our future business development and shifts in our operating environment.
With respect to dividends, we use the dividend on equity (DOE) as a key indicator and aim to raise it to a level of 3.0% or higher by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.
In addition, we strive to enhance shareholder returns through the flexible acquisition and cancellation of treasury shares.
