In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Tokuyama Corporation reported a slight decline in net sales, down 0.8% year-on-year to ¥81,828 million, while operating profit increased by 5.1% to ¥7,884 million. However, ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent saw declines of 9.8% and 33.6%, respectively.
Key financial metrics highlighted a decrease in net sales due to lower export volumes of caustic soda and declining overseas vinyl chloride prices, despite steady semiconductor-related product sales. The company managed to improve its operating profit through cost reductions in manufacturing. The Electronic & Advanced Materials segment showed significant growth, with a 45.5% increase in operating profit, driven by strong sales of semiconductor-related products.
