The latest update is out from Takasago International Corporation ( (JP:4914) ).
Takasago International Corporation reported largely stable domestic flavor sales and solid demand for beverage flavors and fabric-care fragrances in China during fiscal 2025, but faced higher raw material import costs in Japan due to yen depreciation. The company’s fine chemicals segment postponed overseas shipments of pharmaceutical intermediates while enhancing quality management with key clients, and its French operations saw lower fragrance shipments amid ERP-related delivery adjustments.
Consolidated net sales declined 1.8% year on year to ¥225.1 billion, as U.S. subsidiary shipments of flavors, fragrances, and fine chemicals fell after the prior year’s backlog clearance. Operating profit dropped 47.0% to ¥8.1 billion and ordinary profit fell 37.9% to ¥9.5 billion, driven mainly by reduced shipments from Japan headquarters to the U.S. subsidiary and weaker U.S. sales, although foreign exchange gains and a gain on sale of investment securities partly offset the profit decline, leaving net income attributable to owners down 28.5% at ¥9.5 billion.
