In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Kansai Paint Co. reported a 4.7% increase in net sales, reaching 588,825 million yen. Despite this growth in sales, the company faced challenges that led to a decrease in net income attributable to owners of the parent by 42.9%, amounting to 38,306 million yen.
The company’s operating income saw a slight increase of 0.9% to 52,050 million yen, driven by cost reduction efforts and improved selling prices. However, ordinary income declined by 14.9% due to foreign exchange losses and impairment losses on goodwill and other assets in affiliates. The company’s performance varied across its segments, with notable growth in Africa and North America, while Europe and Asia faced challenges.
Looking ahead, Kansai Paint Co. remains cautiously optimistic about its future performance. The management is focused on navigating the uncertainties in the global economy, including foreign exchange fluctuations and geopolitical risks, while continuing to leverage its strategic initiatives to drive growth and improve profitability.
