Executive summary

  • Core operating income for H1 FY2025 exceeded initial forecasts, led by Specialty Materials and Industrial Gases, despite ongoing market weakness in MMA and basic materials and uncertainty from U.S. tariffs.

  • Net income attributable to owners surged 169% year-on-year to ¥110.1 billion, mainly due to proceeds from the sale of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma.

  • Structural reforms and asset optimization progressed, with significant cost reductions and portfolio transformation nearing the JPY 400 billion sales revenue target.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
