An update from Nagase & Co ( (JP:8012) ) is now available.
Nagase & Co. reported record-high net sales and profits at all levels for the first nine months of FY2025, driven by improved profitability under ROIC-focused management, which lifted gross margin by 0.9 percentage points. While trading activity was sluggish in functional materials and automobile-related mobility segments, performance at the Prinova Group was strong, supported by higher trading volumes and efficiency gains in its Nutrition business, and the group’s manufacturing operations showed signs of recovery in the Solutions business through new orders. Demand remained robust for Nagase ChemteX’s formulated epoxy resins for semiconductors used in AI servers despite geopolitical headwinds from U.S.-China tensions, though sales for mobile device applications lagged. Extraordinary items included losses from business withdrawal in China, offset by gains from negative goodwill on M&A and the sale of investment securities, and management judged that both positive and negative factors remained within the range of expectations, leaving full-year earnings forecasts unchanged.
