Operating profit rose ¥0.7B to ¥5,762M; price and FX gains offset higher material costs, investment and depreciation.
Ordinary profit rose 13.8% to ¥5,814M; basic EPS was ¥128.76 versus ¥98.16 YoY.
Sales gains included primary batteries, adhesive tapes, industrial materials, automotive optics and semiconductor-related products; rechargeable batteries and health and beauty care products declined.
Outlook and guidance
FY2027 forecast remains unchanged: net sales ¥143,000M, operating profit ¥10,000M, parent-attributable profit ¥6,700M and EPS ¥181.74.
Performance is expected to remain generally solid from Q3, led by semiconductor-related products and the Analog Core Business Group.
Primary batteries remain firm, particularly for medical devices; the new production line is operating, with pre-price-revision demand pull-forward a watchpoint.
Construction tape capacity is ramping, while AI and data-center demand supports semiconductor tapes; silver-cost pass-through is expected to support appropriate profitability from Q3.
