The earnings call for FY2025 Q1 presented a mixed picture. While there were significant improvements in core operating income and positive developments in the Sumitomo Pharma and Essential and Green Materials segments, the company faced challenges with declining sales revenue, net income loss, and negative free cash flow. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations also posed a significant hurdle.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the Q1 FY2025 conference call, Mr. Toshihiro Yamauchi provided a detailed overview of the company's financial performance and guidance. Sales revenue was reported at JPY526.1 billion, marking a YoY decrease of JPY86 billion, while core operating income rose by JPY22 billion YoY to JPY27.7 billion. Non-recurring items saw a loss of JPY2.2 billion, contributing to an overall operating income of JPY25.5 billion, up JPY14 billion YoY. The net income attributable to owners of the parent was a loss of JPY4.5 billion, a decline of JPY28.9 billion YoY. The company faced challenges due to the appreciation of the yen and fluctuations in naphtha prices, with the average exchange rate at JPY144.59 to USD1. The outlook for H1 FY2025 projects sales revenue of JPY1.1 trillion, a decrease of JPY141.4 billion YoY, and a core operating income of JPY90 billion, up JPY60.5 billion YoY. The company expects strong performance from Sumitomo Pharma and anticipates improvements in profitability for essential and green materials, despite ongoing challenges in the ICT and mobility solutions segment due to exchange rate impacts.
