Executive summary
Net sales for the first half of FY2025 decreased by 12.5% year-over-year to ¥212.7 billion, mainly due to sluggish sales in Polymers & Chemicals and the exclusion of the Steel Products Business from consolidation.
Operating profit rose 36.4% year-over-year to ¥8.3 billion, driven by lower raw material prices and the absence of large-scale maintenance, despite weak sales in several segments.
Profit attributable to owners of parent surged to ¥10.9 billion from ¥0.3 billion a year earlier.
Segment reclassification was implemented, expanding from four to six segments, including the new High Performance Urethane and Pharmaceutical segments.
Ordinary profit jumped to ¥15.9 billion from ¥1.9 billion, mainly due to foreign exchange gains and improved equity method income.

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.
