Financial outcomes
2025 results
Revenue from automotive coatings increased compared with the previous year, reflecting a recovery in automobile production. Revenue from industrial coatings also increased, as the impact of weak market conditions was more than offset by the pass-through of price increases. Revenue from decorative paints declined, despite initiatives to expand sales of high value-added products, including new products, due to a slowdown in renovation projects caused by inflation. As a result, consolidated revenue increased by 1.1% year on year to ¥205,360 million.
Consolidated operating profit rose by 44.6% to ¥28,125 million, supported by higher revenue, improved raw material cost contribution ratio and SG&A ratio, and a gain on the transfer of non-current assets at the Tokyo Office.
Trends in revenue, operating profit, and operating profit margin
- The reportable segments were changed beginning in FY2022 1Q. Figures from 2021 onwards are based on the new reportable segments and include the overseas marine business.
