Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4078) ) has shared an update.
Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. reported that non-consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 fell 6.1% year on year to ¥41.6 billion, mainly due to the termination of its pigment-grade titanium dioxide business and weaker demand in China hitting its Cosmetic Materials segment. Despite this, operating profit rose 5.9% and ordinary profit climbed 15.9%, supported by solid results in the Electronic Materials segment and other operations.
Net income, however, plunged 87.2% to ¥798 million, reflecting a sharp deterioration in profitability in the Cosmetic Materials segment and a large impairment loss of ¥2.97 billion on related manufacturing facilities booked as an extraordinary loss. The bottom line was also weighed down by the absence of a ¥2.37 billion merger-related gain on extinguishment of tie-in shares that had boosted the previous year’s results, leading to a substantial drop in earnings per share from ¥384.56 to ¥51.15 and signaling pressure on returns to shareholders and overall earnings quality.
