Nippon Shokubai Holds Profit Amid Lower Sales, Keeps FY2025 Outlook Unchanged

Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4114) ) has issued an update.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, Nippon Shokubai reported revenue of ¥299.3 billion, down 3.0% year on year, while operating profit was essentially flat at ¥15.2 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 2.5% to ¥14.4 billion, helped by higher earnings per share driven in part by a reduced share count. Total assets increased to ¥564.7 billion and equity attributable to owners of the parent rose to ¥387.7 billion, though the equity ratio edged down, and the company maintained its dividend stance with a forecast annual dividend of ¥100 per share for FY2025, lower than the prior year. Full-year guidance was left unchanged, with the company expecting modest revenue contraction and declines in operating profit and net profit compared with the previous fiscal year, indicating a cautious outlook amid a challenging operating environment even as it strengthens its business base through moves such as consolidating Emulsion Technology Co., Ltd.
